How to force a page refresh in Next.js
In a component, you can use the useRouter
hook:
import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
//...
const router = useRouter()
router.reload(window.location.pathname)
Sometimes you can’t, for example when you’re not in a React component, maybe in a utility function.
In that case, you can do this:
import Router from 'next/router'
Router.reload(window.location.pathname)
