How to Reload a Page in Vue.js

A guide to reloading pages in Vue.js

In Vue.js, you can refresh the page (i.e., trigger a full page reload) by using JavaScript. You can do this in one of the following ways:

1. Using location.reload():

You can use the location.reload() method to reload the current page. Hereā€™s an example of how you can use it in a Vue.js component method or script block:

<script setup>
import { ref } from ''vue'';

const refreshPage = () => {
  location.reload(); // Reloads the current page
};
</script>

You can call this refreshPage method when an event or action triggers the page refresh.

2. Using window.location:

You can also use the window.location object to reload the page. Hereā€™s an example:

<script setup>
import { ref } from ''vue'';

const refreshPage = () => {
  window.location.reload(); // Reloads the current page
};
</script>

This method is essentially the same as the first one but provides another way to accomplish the same task.

3. Using Vue Router:

If you are using Vue Router for client-side routing, you can programmatically navigate to the current route to achieve a similar effect. This will not perform a full page reload but will reset the routeā€™s components and state.

Hereā€™s an example:

<template>
  <!-- Your template code here -->
  <button @click="refreshPage">Refresh Page</button>
</template>

<script setup>
import { useRouter } from ''vue-router'';

const router = useRouter();

const refreshPage = () => {
  router.go(); // Reloads the current route
};
</script>

In this case, the route will be reloaded, but the entire page wonā€™t be refreshed.

Choose the method that best suits your use case. If you want to perform a full-page reload, use the first or second method. If you want to reset the current routeā€™s components and state in a Vue Router-based application, use the third method.
