Nushell

Nushell

A new type of shell

Cross-platform

Nu works on Linux, macOS, BSD, and Windows. Learn it once, then use it anywhere.

Everything is data

Nu pipelines use structured data so you can safely select, filter, and sort the same way every time. Stop parsing strings and start solving problems.

Powerful plugins

It’s easy to extend Nu using a powerful plugin system.

Nu works with existing data

Nu speaks JSON, YAML, SQLite, Excel, and more out of the box. It’s easy to bring data into a Nu pipeline whether it’s in a file, a database, or a web API:

Nu has great error messages

Nu operates on typed data, so it catches bugs that other shells don’t. And when things break, Nu tells you exactly where and why:

Angular – Reload page (and its components) even if on same url

Tested in Angular 19.

Add router to component constructor:

import { Router } from '@angular/router';
...

  public constructor(
    private _router: Router
  ) {}

Navigate and reload page, even if currently on same url

this._router.navigateByUrl('/', { skipLocationChange: true }).then(() => {
  this._router.navigate(['my-page']);
});

Above code navigates to root path without changing url in browser, then navigates to current url /my-page. E.g. “reloads” current page (which has path /mypage).
