To navigate / open new pages/windows, you can use RouterLink that comes from Angular Documentation. https://angular.io/tutorial/toh-pt5 you can follow this one.

Does it really work like this? When I am using <a routerLink="/page2" target="_blank">RouterLink to app</a> I only receive a blank page in the new electron window because it cannot open the path [...]with error: ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

Are there any other ways to solve this? When I use the direct path the new electron window only shows the "Loading..." text from Angular.

Note: I am new to both Electron and Angular, so any help is highly appreciated! :)

Can you please provide your routing module?

[kempsu]

Sure:

app-routing.module.ts:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { PageNotFoundComponent } from './shared/components';

import { HomeRoutingModule } from './home/home-routing.module';

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    redirectTo: 'home',
    pathMatch: 'full'
  },
  {
    path: '**',
    component: PageNotFoundComponent
  }
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    RouterModule.forRoot(routes, { useHash: true, relativeLinkResolution: 'legacy' }),
    HomeRoutingModule,
    Page2RoutingModule
  ],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

page2-routing.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { Page2Component } from './page2.component';

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'page2',
    component: Page2Component
  }
];

@NgModule({
  declarations: [],
  imports: [CommonModule, RouterModule.forChild(routes)],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class Page2RoutingModule {}

Anyway, for now I used the workaround of just creating a second electron window on launch. If the user closes the second window by accident the application needs a restart. Not ideal, but at least the app is usable now.

win2.loadURL(file://${__dirname}/../dist/index.html#page2);

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

通过设置app/main.ts文件 win.loadURL(url.href); 改为 win.loadURL('http://localhost:4200'); 编译的时候将将从链接地址获取页面数据，进行渲染。 这样你在运行程序之前打开angular的服务，就可以正常渲染了。 这也其实也说明了Electron更像是一个浏览器+一些额外平台的api接口。
