How can I change BrowserWindow hash url without reloading the page

Question

I'm loading a page in ElectronJS with BrowserWindow.loadURL("http://google.com") . Later on in my application, I need to update the the url by some hash values like http://google.com/#start and I want it to be done without reloading the page as it's the expected behavior.

Answer 1

Using location.assign('#start'); works for me inside a local URL.

You may want to try something like this (untested) from the main process:

let window = new BrowserWindow(/*...*/);
window.loadURL("http://google.com");
//
window.webContents.executeJavaScript("location.assign('#start');");
