          You can try forcing a refresh, either with:



          <Link to="/dashboard" onClick={this.forceUpdate} style={{ color: '#A4A4A4'}}>Dashboard</Link>


          or 



          <Link to="/dashboard" onClick={() => window.location.refresh()} style={{ color: '#A4A4A4' }}>Dashboard</Link>


          You can also add logic to the onClick method to check which page you are currently on, and to only refresh if you are on the dashboard.

          • React components will only re-render if the state or props are updated. If you try to navigate to the page you are currently on, and there isn't a change in state or props in that component, the component will not re-render/refresh. If you update the state/props of the component, or force the page to refresh, it will refresh. And unfortunately, react-router-dom will not refresh the page for you if you are navigating to the current page.

          A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

          Image
          0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
