How to refresh a Page using react-route Link

To refresh page you don't need react-router, simple js:

window.location.reload();

To re-render view in React component, you can just fire update with props/state.

Try like this.

You must give a function as value to onClick()

You button:

<button type="button" onClick={ refreshPage }> <span>Reload</span> </button> 

refreshPage function:

function refreshPage(){ 
    window.location.reload(); 
}

You can use this

<a onClick={() => {window.location.href="/something"}}>Something</a>

I ended up keeping Link and adding the reload to the Link's onClick event with a timeout like this:

function refreshPage() {
    setTimeout(()=>{
        window.location.reload(false);
    }, 500);
    console.log('page to reload')
}

<Link to={{pathname:"/"}} onClick={refreshPage}>Home</Link>

without the timeout, the refresh function would run first
