Feature: reload + navigate to route

[ahamid]

go will navigate to specified route
reload will (optionally) reload and navigate to current route

It would be handy to have support for reloading targeting a different destination, e.g.:

const dest = router.href(router.registry.get(DEST_ROUTE_NAME), {param})
let currentRoute = router.current.route
router.pushState({}, currentRoute.title, router.href(currentRoute, { param: currentParam }))
window.location.href = dest // instead of reload

I think this ought to do what you want:

router.go(destination, { param }) && router.reload({}, true)

The URL and the current route params will change (with a call to pushState), but then the hard reload will execute before the promise-based route transition does.

Is that satisfactory?

I see, that makes sense! Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

Hmm, this has the effect of pushing the target path, with current parameter on the stack before navigating to target path with target parameter (therefore back button takes you to new synthetic location), but it's probably fine.

e.g. a/1 -> b/2
stack:
b/2
b/1
a/1

Hmm that's weird. Looking at the source, there might be a bug with the reload method, but I wouldn't expect it to manifest like that.

Does this work?

router.go(destination, { param }) && window.location.reload()
