How do I reload a page with react-router?

Question

I can see in this file (https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/blob/v0.13.3/modules/createRouter.js) that there is a refresh function but I have no idea how to call i

This solution won't cause the undesired full page reload but requires you to make this modification to each page that needs refreshing:

export const Page = () => {
   const location = useLocation();
   return 
}

So the idea is: create a wrapper around your page and make React re-create the actual page every time the location key changes.

Now it's enough to call history.push(/this-page-route) again and the page refreshes.
