javascript - 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 it. I'm fairly new to react-router, I've only used it to move between some pages a couple times using hashHistory.

Right now I am trying to use it so that when an install fails, the user is given the option to 'retry' which I plan to execute by refreshing the page where the install happens (the page the user would be currently on). Any help would be appreciated.

This is a node app that runs on electron, not a web app.

Answer 1

firstly, add react-router as a dependency

`yarn add react-router` or `npm install react-router`

import { useHistory } from 'react-router'

const history = useHistory()

/////then add this to the function that is called for re-rendering

history.go(0)

This causes your page to re-render automatically
