angular - Reload a page once in angular2

Question

I would like to reload a page in angular once when a user visits it but this fails

This is what ive tried

In the homepage component i have

export class HomepageComponent implements OnInit {

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
    location.reload();
  }

}

The page keeps on refreshing without stopping how can i reload only once on init

Answer 1

This will check the query in the url the first time the page gets loaded and will reload right after. This will happen only once (the first time page loads).

ngOnInit(){
      let win = (window as any);
      if(win.location.search !== '?loaded' ) {
          win.location.search = '?loaded';
          win.location.reload();
      }
  }
