How to reload a page in Angular 8 the proper way
Solution 1
You can find total working example here in this StackBlitz Link
Update
First of all doing window.location.reload()
is totally against of Single-Page-Application nature. rather, You can reload particular component when actually clicking on that link.. so, to do this task we have angular router. For particular component reload you can push this line of code in main app.component.ts once for full application.
mySubscription;
constructor(private router: Router, private activatedRoute: ActivatedRoute){
this.router.routeReuseStrategy.shouldReuseRoute = () => false;
this.mySubscription = this.router.events.subscribe((event) => {
if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
// Trick the Router into believing it's last link wasn't previously loaded
this.router.navigated = false;
}
});
}
above code we are going to subscribing
to router-events
. and then we are checking each and every router-NavigationEnd
event, then just telling router, forget to add current navigation of router to its own history. So, each time whenever we are trying to reload same component each and every events are firing for that particular component only, thats a SPA.
IN app.component.ts of ngOnDestroy()
we have to unsubscribe from router events, when component is destroyed.
ngOnDestroy(){
if (this.mySubscription) {
this.mySubscription.unsubscribe();
}
}
Now, for example you have Home and Details component or anything else of component... You can reload each component by calling this.router.navigate([this.router.url])
this will reload all current component. for example, In home component
we have reload-button
and click event of that we are just calling this.router.navigate([this.router.url])
. same for details component too.. or any other component..
Home.component.ts
reLoad(){
this.router.navigate([this.router.url])
}
Details.component.ts
reLoad(){
this.router.navigate([this.router.url])
}
You can check in updated above StackBlitz link, all working example of reloading with full router-state reloading. In browser console see each and every events of component is firing by clicking button reload()
.
Solution 2
ok this next example works for me without reload the page:
on router component you have tu add 'onSameUrlNavigation' router.component:
@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes, { onSameUrlNavigation: 'reload' })],
exports: [RouterModule],
})
now component you want reload
constructor(private router: Router){
this.router.routeReuseStrategy.shouldReuseRoute = () => {
return false;
};
}
someFunction(){
this.router.navigateByUrl('/route');
}
Solution 3
on your app-routing-module.ts
pls verify you have the {onSameUrlNavigation: 'reload'}
@ngModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {onSameUrlNavigation: 'reload'})],
exports: [RouterModule],
})
Solution 4
Try the following:
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes, { onSameUrlNavigation: 'reload' })]

NB. I've got a set of resulting from googling but, as I explain at the end, I sense that they aren't reliable, due to diversity.
I have two utility methods - one for navigating to the parent node and one for reloading self. The first one works as supposed to, while the other one fails to cause the reload.
navigateToParent(route: ActivatedRoute) { const options: NavigationExtras = { relativeTo: route }; this.router.navigate([".."], options); } navigateToSelf(route: ActivatedRoute) { this.router.routeReuseStrategy.shouldReuseRoute = () => false; this.router.onSameUrlNavigation = "reload"; const self = "."; this.router.navigate([self]); // const options: NavigationExtras = { relativeTo: route }; // this.router.navigate(["."], options); }
I followed the answer here, with the only exception that I'd like my path navigated to, to be generic, not hard-coded. I've tried passing different parameters, like self="." and self="" etc. Nothing seems to give me the desired reload.
What do I miss?
I also tried to pick the parts from the route passed into the service's method but I only see a bunch of observables, not the actual segments. And, of course, this.router.navigate(route) only caused an error.
Googling produced a lot of hints with vastly varying suggestions (e.g. this), which leads me to the suspicion that it might be heavily dependent on the version (I'm on 8.0) and, also, that many of the suggestions, although accepted, might be misleading and more harmful in the long run, without me realizing it.

Konrad Viltersten over 4 yearsI don't fully grasp the idea. I don't even have a /home path in my project. And I'd like to understand what I did wrong in my original approach and how to resolve that. As far I understand your example, you navigate to a hard-coded URL, aren't you? Please elaborate.

GaurangDhorda over 4 yearsHere main approach is
skipLocationChange
to reload already activated route. As I think it's your main problem to do. I showed you one demo, you can use this approach in your use-case. If possible make your stackblitz and share link to help you more. -
GaurangDhorda over 4 yearsThis is not reLoad() of page() or component. By calling ngOnInit() by yourself, it will not called all life-cycle methods, rather you are only calling just one ngOnInt(). so this is not good practice to call ngOnInit() by yourself for complete reLoad of page.
-
Konrad Viltersten over 4 yearsThe code isn't executed in the component itself. It's done in the service. And the extra thing is that I don't know which component that's supposed to be reloaded at that certain moment. At the moment, the user needs to hit F5 to reload the window (upon which, the correct state and data is loaded as supposed to). I only want to emulate the reloading. At least at the moment.

Konrad Viltersten over 4 yearsOh, it's so non-angular'ish, hehe. I'll give it a try, though. If it works, it works. Still, it seems that got thirteen suggestion on a dozen tries on how to do something so basic and fundamental.

Sampath almost 4 yearsWhy do we need
ngOnDestroy()
here since this is the Root component and it will never destroy? -
Lars H over 3 yearsThis is the best solution when using RouterModule.forChild(routes) which does not support the onSameUrlNavigation option.

srikanth_yarram about 2 yearsit is not the best way.
-
Peter Ambruzs about 2 yearsAfter adding this.router.navigated = false the menu items do not highlighted properly for me. So I switched to Gustavo's solution.

Anon almost 2 yearsthis is a good solution but seems to be marking a whole bunch of other links as active ever since I've had it enabled
