Reload/refresh router content without reloading the full page about flow HOT 4 CLOSED

Or is this a feature that could be added?

Yes, Vaadin Flow team is going to implement this feature soon and hopefully this will target Vaadin 24.5 (or maybe even 24.4) release.

@knoobie good point, let's see how development goes, I'm okay to include it into 24.4 even though it's in beta already. Copilot experience was the main point, indeed.

I found a workaround. It is a hack as I have to use the getInternals() method which is not a stable API and should not really be used as I understood.

I basically clear the routerTargetChain in UIInternals using a fake location. Then I do the actual navigation using the NavigationTrigger.PROGRAMMATIC trigger to avoid a browser history entry.

Location location = ...;  // the location corresponding to the route I want to refresh
UI.getCurrent().getInternals().showRouteTarget(new Location("random"), new Div(), null);
UI.getCurrent().getInternals().getRouter().navigate(UI.getCurrent(), location, NavigationTrigger.PROGRAMMATIC);

This results in the behaviour that I need. Did I miss something that can do the same, but in a clean way? Or is this a feature that could be added?

@mshabarov I just came across a use case for this as well. I know it's pretty late for 24.4.. but this looks like a neat and easy addition; some Users and even your Copilot would love to have 😉
