You can use window.location.reload(); in your componentDidMount() lifecycle method. If you are using react-router, it has a refresh method to do that.
Edit: If you want to do that after a data update, you might be looking to a re-render not a reload and you can do that by using this.setState(). Here is a basic example of it to fire a re-render after data is fetched.
import React from 'react'
const ROOT_URL = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com';
const url = `${ROOT_URL}/users`;
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
state = {
users: null
}
componentDidMount() {
fetch(url)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(users => this.setState({users: users}));
}
render() {
const {users} = this.state;
if (users) {
return (
<ul>
{users.map(user => <li>{user.name}</li>)}
</ul>
)
} else {
return (<h1>Loading ...</h1>)
}
}
}
export default MyComponent;
