[angular] how to refresh page in angular 2

Just in case someone else encounters this problem. You need to call

window.location.reload()

And you cannot call this from a expression. If you want to call this from a click event you need to put this on a function:

(click)="realodPage()"

And simply define the function:

reloadPage() {
   window.location.reload();
}

If you are changing the route, it might not work because the click event seems to happen before the route changes. A very dirty solution is just to add a small delay

reloadPage() {
    setTimeout(()=>{
      window.location.reload();
    }, 100);
}
