Angular 8 - navigate to a component then refresh window

I want to navigate to a component then refresh the window when clicking on switch() button.

I have tried:

switch() {
    this.router.navigateByUrl("/layouts");
    window.location.reload();
  }

but it is not working as expected, it is only reloading the page without navigate.

navigateByUrl is asynchronous so window.location.reload() is getting called before it returns causing the page to reload before navigating.

navigateByUrl returns a promise so you can do:

this.router.navigateByUrl("/layouts").then(() => {
    window.location.reload();
});
