assign(url: String): Void

Loads the resource at the URL provided in parameter.

Name Type
url String
replace(url: String): Void

Replaces the current resource with the one at the provided URL. The difference from the assign() method is that after using replace() the current page will not be saved in session History, meaning the user won't be able to use the back button to navigate to it.

Name Type
url String
reload(?forceget: Bool = false): Void

Reloads the resource from the current URL. Its optional unique parameter is a Boolean, which, when it is true, causes the page to always be reloaded from the server. If it is false or not specified, the browser may reload the page from its cache.

Name Type Default
forceget Bool false
