reload css at the end of a function

Question

I'm trying to reload only the CSS of my page at the end of my "print" function, but I can not find anything that works.

I tried with location.reload (); but that reloads the page entirely.

Do you have an idea ?

function print() {
const filename  = 'File.pdf';

    html2canvas(document.querySelector('#print')).then(canvas => {
        let pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'mm', 'a4');
        pdf.addImage(canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg'), 'JPEG', 0, 0, 211, 298);

        pdf.save(filename);
    });

location.reload ();

}

+Here are two options to reload your css file. In your print() function remove location.reload(). See the added code below.

function print() {
    const filename  = 'File.pdf';

    html2canvas(document.querySelector('#print')).then(canvas => {
        let pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'mm', 'a4');
        pdf.addImage(canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg'), 'JPEG', 0, 0, 211, 298);
        pdf.save(filename);
    });

    // insert your css filename in place of style.css
    document.querySelector('head').innerHTML += 
        '<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css?' + 
        new Date().getTime() + // add the date string to avoid caching
        '">';
}

Another way to do it is to dynamically create a style link.

// insert your css filename in place of style.css
var css = document.createElement("link");
    css.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
    css.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
    css.setAttribute("href", "style.css?" + new Date().getTime());
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(css);

Hope this helps.
