I'm trying to reload my page after a function has completed, using the method:

window.location = "/" 

but I keep getting the typescript error saying I can't assign a string to type location, which is weird because isn't a location always a string?

This is what I tried:

window.location.assign("/"); 

and it worked, but I don't understand why does the previous solution not work?

CodePudding user response：

window.location is an Object which has the propertly href which is a String. You want window.location.href = "/".
