Reload record detail lightning page on edit

Question

Is there a way to reload the Lightning page after saving the record detail? I have embedded a custom Lightning component on the Lightning page and trying to reload the page to use the updated field values on the record.

Answer 1

Use below code, if success is returned below code line should be fired. $A.get("e.force:refreshView").fire();

A sample method can be written as

refresh : function(component, event, helper) {
var action = component.get('c.myController');
action.setCallback(component,
    function(response) {
        var state = response.getState();
        if (state === 'SUCCESS'){
            $A.get('e.force:refreshView').fire();
        } else {
             //do something
        }
    }
);
$A.enqueueAction(action);

Are you in the context of a custom lightning app? The default refreshView event is only available within the Lightning Experience / mobile Salesforce-App context. Say if you want to use the event within a .app you have to register and handle the event manually and cannot use the out-of-the-box behaviour.

force:refreshView is used to refresh the view when you need to get new data. Something like this:

$A.get("e.force:refreshView").fire();
