delegateNewWindowsToFront

function delegateNewWindowsToFront(): void;

Calling this function will add an event listener on the window object to delegate opening some links with Front. It will automatically call Front.openUrl if one of the following conditions is true:

The link opens a new window (target property of the anchor is set to _blank)
The link is to compose an email (href property of the anchor starts with mailto:)
The link is opened with window.open and the target is _blank or empty: window.open(url, "_blank") or window.open(url)

The goal of this function is to make it easier to have links compatible with Front. Its usage is totally opt-in and you can always stop the propagation of the click event to prevent triggering the listener.

import {delegateNewWindowsToFront} from '@frontapp/plugin-bridge';

delegateNewWindowsToFront();

If you need to use this function in global installations

📘
When including the Plugin SDK as a global library, you can use an attribute to have this behavior run automatically, as shown in the code below. Note that this is not the recommended method of installing the Plugin SDK.
