How can I redirect a page to itself in JavaScript?

Question

Here is my current code which does redirecting:

window.location.href= '/post/' + data.main_id + '/' + subject + '#post-' +  data.post_id;

Code above just changes the slug when I'm in the same URL. anyway, I need to both change the slug and reload the page. How can I do that by JS or even jQuery?

Answer 1

You can achieve this by first appending the fragment to the URL, then reloading the page:

window.location.href += '#post-' + data.post_id;
window.location.reload();

Note however that you could improve this further by using pushState and avoiding the need to reload the page at all when the fragment changes.

Answer 2

You can use

location.reload();
