Backbone: Refresh the current route

by

There are several things that would accomplish this. If you anticipate navigating to a route that is already in the url, then first check the current route fragment with Backbone.history.fragment and see if it is the same as the route you want to activate. If so, then you can do any of the following:

  1. You could just call the route method directly: sys.view1();

  2. You could set the fragment to another dead route, then back to the route you want.


    sys.navigate('someDeadRoute');
    sys.navigate('view1',{trigger: true});

  3. You could stop and restart the router:

    Backbone.history.stop();
    Backbone.history.start()

    This would pickup the route again and run it.

I think I would go with #1.
