"Referencing the Window in Angular expressions is disallowed!"

[jpillora]

How do we do a window.open now?

Error: [$parse:isecwindow] Referencing the Window in Angular expressions is disallowed! Expression: foo()

  scope.foo = ->
    window.open 'https://example.com'

I guess we should use the $window service.

http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$window

But i'm getting the same error with $window

Put it in a controller function that you call from the expression in the
template.
Angular templates should not contain code like this directly

👍 For keeping calls like that out of a template.

Something like this

myMod.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $window) {
  $scope.OpenWindow = function(...) {
    $window.open(...);
  };
});

If you are using coffeescript it's a problem caused by coffeescript habit of returning everything and in your case returns a "dom" object.
Try something like:

scope.foo = ->
window.open 'https://example.com'
return true

Ahh that's it, I did solve it but I couldn't figure out why, thanks

Thanks for all the upvotes on #4853 (comment) but I am locking this conversation as all these extra comments are actually diluting the ability to get access to that help.

I will add something to the API docs to cover this issue.
