UI Builder: Reload a page

Hasan6 · ‎10-12-2023

Hi Community,

I have a ui builder page, and want to create a button which, upon click, executes an action and then reloads the page.

While I can get the 'executes and action' part done through the event scripts, I am not able to reload the page.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Though I would not personally recommend this method to update the data on the Page, as it can be refreshed through the definition of client states and data resources defined with dynamic inputs and event handler-triggers.

You can use the below script in order to reload the page by binding any event with the below client script -

Please note that you can access the document object using this code for other use cases as well.

Ah, yes that makes sense 🙂

I would have to test it myself as well, but I think top.window.location.reload() could work.

Tried this, but still not reloading the page.

Alright, maybe we can take a different approach here.

By using the helpers.navigate.to() function you could set a new URL. What happens if you just use the same URL you're already in?

Tried this, but what if I’m trying to reload a subpage!

Hello @Hasan6

Use

location.reload(true);

For the entire page reload.

Plz mark my solution as Accept, If you find it helpful.
