Sorry about the odd title, I’m not sure how to phrase the question. Basically, I was wondering if it is possible open a new window and fill it with HTML from the front-end rather than code an actual route, db calls, etc. (Yep ultra lazy.) Thinking along these lines…

var html = '<!DOCTYPE html><body><h1>Y HALO THAR</h1></body>'

window.open(html);

Am I just wishing upon a star here? Is this even possible?

    window.open('data:text/html,<!DOCTYPE html><body><h1>Y HALO THAR</h1></body>');
