Savely store a persistent value before location reload

[simonferndriger]

Maybe there is a better approach, but I found that even though there is a new version of the SPA (with correct js file versioning), it takes a while for the users to pick it up. When there is a critical update I want to force a location reload to get the latest version immediately.

Currently, I have this approach:
this.version = Alpine.persist("xxx"); this.$nextTick(() => { location.reload(); });

Is it save to assume that the version value gets always stored before the location reloads? Or is there even a better approach in general?

PS: I am aware of some browser settings that lead to localstorage getting cleared out after closing the browser (window). But localstorage cannot be disabled during the session, can it?

I believe it is safe to assume.

LocalStorage is synchronous, so it will write before the tick is even queued.
