Remount componentDidMount() by path.name

Question

When the page loads I use componentDidMount() to document.createElement(\"script\"); in the layout index.js of a ReactJS and G

You can add in the componentDidUpdate lifecycle method which is called whenever the component is updated:

componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
  // check if path has changed
  if (prevProps.pathname !== this.props.pathname) { 
    // call something to fetch data
  }
}

You can add more conditions to match only certain paths.

Check your gastby-link library to see how you can get the current pathname to pass in as props.

You can also try passing pathname={window.location.pathname} from a parent component that gets re-rendered when path changes.
