firstly, add react-router as a dependency
yarn add react-router or npm install react-router
Then (for react-router v5)
import { useHistory } from 'react-router'
const history = useHistory()
// then add this to the function that is called for re-rendering
history.go(0)
This causes your page to re-render automatically
For react-router v6 use the useNavigate hook instead:
import { useNavigate } from 'react-router'
const navigate = useNavigate()
// refresh
navigate(0)
