Force app.blade.php to reload

[darkylmnx]

There seem to be no way to force a real reload or swap the HTML tag when the blade template has changed. In my blade template I conditionally add a CSS class on the tag when the user is logged in or not.

When I do a logout with router.post('/logout'), the page changes, but the old class is still here, because intertia only patches the <div id="app">;

Same thing goes when I login, the class isn't updated.

For now I have only two solutions which are not ideal:

• use onSuccess to do a window.location.reload()
• use JS client side to change the class

First solution open to issues if something goes wrong and also not the best in terms of UX, the user first see's the inertia load, then the "normal" reload.

Second solution brings things I wanted to avoid by choosing InertiaJS instead of a standalone SPA, which is manipulating the DOM of the skeleton (something I would normally do in a regular SPA).

Are there any other solutions?

Is there a way to tell inertia "for this request, do a real reload" or something?

You should be able to use Inertia::location() for this.

return Inertia::location(route('home'));

// Or pass it a redirect response

return Inertia::location(back());
