Opening a PDF file in another window with VueJS
Did you figure it out?
My solution is for projects created with Vue CLI 3 running locally (I haven't built my project yet).
My issue was similar to yours. I just wanted <a> link that opened up my pdf file on a new tab but my url concatenated a single hash to my path and redirected me to my home page. And it was a surprisingly easy fix:
<a href="./resume.pdf" target="_blank">resume</a>Just a dot, forward slash, and my file name. And my file is located under root > public folder.
Relative Path Imports
When you reference a static asset using relative path (must start with .) inside JavaScript, CSS or *.vue files, the asset will be included into webpack's dependency graph...
