force view to reload in ionic2 framework

Question

After going through Clear History and Reload Page on Login/Logout Using Ionic Framework

I want to know same question, but for ionic2 using typescript.

On login and logout I need reload the app.ts, because there are classes that run libraries on construct.

it would be basically redirect to home and reload.

Found this answer here, (please note especially the line this.navCtrl.setRoot(this.navCtrl.getActive().component); which is by far the simplest solution that I've come across to reload present page for Ionic 2 & 3 and later versions of Angular (mine is 4), so credit due accordingly:

RELOAD CURRENT PAGE

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController, ModalController} from 'ionic-angular';

@Component({
  selector: 'page-example',
  templateUrl: 'example.html'
})
export class ExamplePage {

  public someVar: any;

  constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, private modalCtrl: ModalController) {

  }

  refreshPage() {
    this.navCtrl.setRoot(this.navCtrl.getActive().component);
  }

}

If you want to RELOAD A DIFFERENT PAGE please use the following (note this.navCtrl.setRoot(HomePage);:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController, ModalController} from 'ionic-angular';
import { HomePage } from'../home/home';

@Component({
  selector: 'page-example',
  templateUrl: 'example.html'
})
export class ExamplePage {

  public someVar: any;

  constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, private modalCtrl: ModalController) {

  }

  directToNewPage() {
    this.navCtrl.setRoot(HomePage);
  }

}
