React LazyWithRetry

lazyWithRetry.js

import { lazy } from 'react';

const lazyWithRetry = (componentImport) =>
  lazy(async () => {
    const pageHasAlreadyBeenForceRefreshed = JSON.parse(
      window.localStorage.getItem(
        'page-has-been-force-refreshed'
      ) || 'false'
    );

    try {
      const component = await componentImport();

      window.localStorage.setItem(
        'page-has-been-force-refreshed',
        'false'
      );

      return component;
    } catch (error) {
      if (!pageHasAlreadyBeenForceRefreshed) {
        // Assuming that the user is not on the latest version of the application.
        // Let's refresh the page immediately.
        window.localStorage.setItem(
          'page-has-been-force-refreshed',
          'true'
        );
        return window.location.reload();
      }

      // The page has already been reloaded
      // Assuming that user is already using the latest version of the application.
      // Let's let the application crash and raise the error.
      throw error;
    }
  });

This typescript version works fine for me in next:14

Thanks for the code! But I think there is a little error.

  const pageHasAlreadyBeenForcedToRefresh =
    JSON.parse(
      isSessionStorageAvailable &&
        sessionStorage?.getItem(
          "page-has-been-forced-to-refresh-by-component-loader",
        ),
    ) || "false";

In this part of code, if 'page-has-been-forced-to-refresh-by-component-loader' not exists you assign "false", and after that you use pageHasAlreadyBeenForcedToRefresh as condition, but !"false" is false.

Correction:

    const pageHasAlreadyBeenForcedToRefresh =
      JSON.parse(
        (isSessionStorageAvailable &&
          sessionStorage?.getItem(
            'page-has-been-forced-to-refresh-by-component-loader'
          ))
      ) || false

Then I think hasToResolveComponentLoaderPromise should be

const hasToResolveComponentLoaderPromise = hasComponentRefreshed || pageHasAlreadyBeenForcedToRefresh
