如何在应用程序重新打开时强制移动浏览器重新加载页面

Question

As you may know, in chrome or firefox mobile, when you are visiting a webpage, if you close the browser and then open again, the first thing the app does is to open that webpage again, but it opens the version you left when you closed, so, for example if you're watching a forum thread with 4 posts and close, the next time you open you see the same thread with the same 4 posts even if there were new posts, the only way you can know is reloading the page.

I'm facing issues because my session variables expires but the page in a previous version is opened and then I get loads of notices due to the session variables not being defined.

I need to find a way to force the mobile browser to open a fresh instance of my page, so if the session variables already expired, the user is redirected to the proper page.

Thanks in advance.

If you use a library like axios , you can handle errors caused by your invalid session with interceptors and trigger a page reload programmatically.

axios.interceptors.response.use(function (response) {
  return response;
}, function(error) (
  if(error.statusCode === 401)
    window.location.reload(); //or whatever
  return error;
});
