How to open link in new tab in angular 5

I have an angular 5 component that needs to open a link in new tab, I tried the following:

<a href="www.example.com" target="_blank">page link</a>


when I open the link, the application gets slow and opens a route like:

localhost:4200/www.example.com


My question is:
What is the correct way to do this in angular?

<a href="//example.com" target="_blank">page link</a>

Use window.open(). It's pretty straightforward !

window.open()

In your component.html file-

component.html

<a (click)="goToLink("www.example.com")">page link</a>


In your component.ts file-

component.ts

goToLink(url: string)
window.open(url, "_blank");



just use the full url as href like this:

<a href="https://www.example.com/" target="_blank">page link</a>


Perhaps try something like this

href="https://www.example.com"
