How to create a window.location.replace() using sveltekit

Question

Is there a way to create window.location.replace in SvelteKit, like we can use goto()?

I want a way to not save the current URL in history. The current URL has query strings that change and the user cannot use the back button to go to the previous page. Instead, just go to the page with different query strings.

Edit: I am using history.pushState() and history.replaceState() to not save the URLs in history. I wish there was a built-in way in SvelteKit to do this.

There is a replaceState parameter on goto that may do what you're looking for.

goto('/wherever', { replaceState: true });

Looks like the options passed to goto could be better documented, I'll see if I can fix that.
