Menu
I have this code:
<Link to="/dashboard" style={{ color: '#A4A4A4' }}>Dashboard</Link>
As part of my app, but if i'm currently viewing the /dashboard route, the page doesn't refresh.
Why? And how can i make it refresh?

React is a modern JavaScript library and therefore does not require a page refresh to display the latest data in the UI.
To refresh a page, we need to use the window. location. reload() method in React. By default this method reloads the page from a cache, if we pass true as an argument it reloads the entire page from a server instead of cache.
Method 2: Adding a new state with pushState() Method: The pushState() method is used to add a new history entry with the properties passed as parameters. This will change the current URL to the new state given without reloading the page.
Use a wildcard placeholder to handle 404 page not found in React router, e.g. <Route path="*" element={<PageNotFound />} /> . A route that has an asterisk path * serves as a catch all route. It only matches when no other routes do.
You can try forcing a refresh, either with:
<Link to="/dashboard" onClick={this.forceUpdate} style={{ color: '#A4A4A4'}}>Dashboard</Link>
or
<Link to="/dashboard" onClick={() => window.location.reload()} style={{ color: '#A4A4A4' }}>Dashboard</Link>
You can also add logic to the onClick method to check which page you are currently on, and to only refresh if you are on the dashboard.
