The default Menu of Electron has two types of reloading or refreshing window

  • Reload (Ctrl + R)
  • Force Reload (Ctrl + Shift + R)

I created a custom menu, and create the same functionality as the first one.

label: 'Reload Window',
  accelerator: "CmdOrCtrl+R", 
  click: () => {
     mainWindow.reload();
}}

the code to reload the window is simply mainWindow.reload();, but how about the Force Reload? I tried adding some CSS and JS then try my newly created reload Menu but it just refreshes the window, CSS and JS don't make any changes.

electron node.js javascript

You should be able to use reloadIgnoringCache on the webContents

So something like mainWindow.webContents.reloadIgnoringCache()
