Open a URL in a New Window Using Purely JavaScript

How can you open a URL in a brand new window using JavaScript in your application?

You can do this via the window.open() method:

const URL = "https://www.google.com";
const windowProperties = "location=yes,height=800,width=800,scrollbars=yes,status=yes";

window.open(URL, "_blank", windowProperties);

As an example, that will open the Google homepage in a new browser window.

The third parameter for window.open() is where you specify the window properties, such as height, width, if it should have scrollbars, etc.
