How can I redirect to an external URL using Ionic Vue's useIonRouter?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm using Ion Router from Ionic with Vue.js and I'm trying to replace my current URL with an external one. My current URL is:

http://localhost:3000/app/integrations

I want to redirect to:

https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/

However, the result becomes:

http://localhost:3000/app/https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/

I need a way to replace the entire URL so that only the external URL is present, similar to using:

window.location.href = URL;

The code I tried is:

JAVASCRIPT
import { useIonRouter } from '@ionic/vue';

const ionRouter = useIonRouter();

ionRouter.replace(URL);

I have also attempted the push method, but neither approach works for navigating to an external URL. How can I achieve a full URL replacement?

When using Ion Router's navigation methods (like push or replace), Ionic expects a relative, internal route within your SPA. As a result, if you pass an absolute external URL (like "https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/"), it appends it to the base path of your app. To navigate to an external URL without keeping your app’s context, you should use the standard browser redirection methods.

For example, you can do one of the following:

Using window.location.replace (does not keep current page in history)

JAVASCRIPT
window.location.replace('https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/');

Using window.location.href (keeps current page in history)

JAVASCRIPT
window.location.href = 'https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/';

These methods will redirect the browser to the external URL without appending it to your base path.

You can try below code for redirect to other link

JAVASCRIPT
    // take variable and assign variable
    let url = "https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/"
    window.location.href = url

    // direct assign a value
    window.location.href = "https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/"

if it's not working for you please let me know.
