In Blazor Server-Side, Navmenu is not updating after user login

Daniel Fischer

Hello,

I am presently using Blazor Server-side for an Learning Management System type format assignment. Presently we have our login pages, dashboard, profile page, etc. already created with navlinks in the navmenu. However, after a user first logs in, we have it redirect to their "dashboard", but the navmenu is not updating (presently all they can see is "Home" until they login, then it should show all navlinks). So after they login, they have to hit "Home" navlink in the navmenu, before it will refresh and display all the other navlinks (Dashboard, Profile, Registration, etc.).

My question is, how do I force the navmenu to update, as soon as they login and are redirected to the dashboard page? So that the user doesn't have to click "home" navlink to update it.

Thank you for your help.

1. @page "/refresh"
2. @inject NavigationManager NavigationManager
4. @code {
6. protected override void OnInitialized()
7. {
8. NavigationManager.NavigateTo("");
9. }
11. }
This page will immediately redirect to your original page refreshing the page and all of the data instantly.
You can create a refresh method in your original page as follows:
1. public void RefreshPage() { NavigationManager.NavigateTo("refresh"); }
This solves the issue you mention much faster than any of the other solutions provided so far:
I want the user to be able to edit the form, but be able to refresh the page by clicking the button to get back the original data
You can also use this to pass parameters into your refresh page by adding the following to the refresh page:
1. @page "/refresh"
2. @page "/refresh/{text}"
3. @inject NavigationManager NavigationManager
5. @code {
6. [Parameter]
7. public string Text { get; set; }
9. protected override void OnInitialized()
10. {
11. NavigationManager.NavigateTo(Text);
12. }
14. }
