I'm trying to open a new window of my PWA application inside of it. But when I click on the anchor a new chrome tab is open.

Anyone can help me to open two instances of my PWA application?

An example of it is outlook, where you can open a new window of the application to write your email.

Thanks

• Today I figure it out what to do. You need to open the windows using the window.open function... – Lucas Gauna Commented May 5, 2020 at 12:01

The solution was very easy, I just need to open the new window using the window.open, and not using the anchor tag (A).

Documentation about this function:

https://developer.mozilla/pt-PT/docs/Web/API/Window/open

For this to work, you have to pass width and height attributes, I couldn't find any documentation for that requirement, but it just works, example:

window.open('https://my.app.domain/route.to/something', null, 'width=600,height=400');

function newWindow() {
window.open("https://WEBADRESS/index.html","_blank","toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=no, copyhistory=yes, width=900, height=700");
}

Feel free to arrange the settings as you like.

Unfortunately they have an error in their code. I fixed it.
