How to auto refresh admin page on browser after data have changed on server?

Question

I want to auto refresh the admin page on browser after a specific model on the database changes. Is it possible to do that?

To be more clearly: I want to refresh the url .../admin/restaurants/orders/ that is already opened on the browser, after the user posts a new order.

You can send ajax request (do it in your custom js file) to same url == window.location.href (for example every 10 seconds)

class OrderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    class Meta:
        model = Order
    class Media:
        js = ("my_code.js",)
