Reload current page in Aurelia

Question

I have an Aurelia application where the user can select the company they\'re currently \"working on\". Every page in the app is dependent on the currently selected company,

Answer 1

Here is a simple solution to refresh the page: in aurelia-history-browser.js, added a check in updateHash() and if the new _href is equal to the old then reload the page from the cache (not the server).

Then, to refresh the page you just need to use the existing options:

router.navigateToRoute('watch', {}, { replace: true, trigger: true });

The updated code is copied below:

function updateHash(location, fragment, replace) {
    if (replace) {
      var _href = location.href.replace(/(javascript:|#).*$/, '') + '#' + fragment;
      if (_href == location.href)
        location.reload(false);
      else
        location.replace(_href);
    } else {
      location.hash = '#' + fragment;
    }
  }
