Angular2 Trigger router.navigate to refresh a page

Question

I have noticed that using :

router.navigate(['my-route']) doesn't work if I am already on 'my-route'

However, I am looking to refresh the component if I am already on the its route.

What's the best way to achieve this ?

Answer 1

use router.navigateByUrl instead

can get url with

ngOnInit() {
      this.sub = this.route.params.subscribe(params => {
         this.paramsChanged(params['id']);
       });
    }
