Reload current page in Aurelia

Question

I have an Aurelia application where the user can select the company they\'re currently \"working on\". Every page in the app is dependent on the currently selected company,

Answer 1

Better answer:

this.router.navigateToRoute(
  this.router.currentInstruction.config.name,
  {
    ...this.router.currentInstruction.params,
    reload: Number(this.router.currentInstruction.queryParams.reload || 0) + 1,
  },
  { trigger: true },
);

The navigateToRoute() takes 3 parameters:

1. Name of route: (get from current instruction)
2. Route parameters: (get from current instruction and add an incremental reload to change the route; easiest way to make the router actually navigate)
3. Options: The trigger: true option forces an activationStrategy: invokeLifecycle on this specific routing instruction without the need to set this option in the viewModel or routeConfig for normal routing.
