Stimulus Prefetch
A Stimulus controller that prefetch in-viewport links.
Installation
$ yarn add stimulus-prefetch
And use it in your JS file:
// Probably in app/javascript/controllers/index.js
import { Application } from '@hotwired/stimulus'
import Prefetch from 'stimulus-prefetch'
const application = Application.start()
application.register('prefetch', Prefetch)
π Demo
See demo βUsage
<a href="/about" data-controller="prefetch">About</a>.
Note: To improve performance, links will only be prefetched if they are in the viewport and if the user isn't on a slow connection.
π Extending Controller
You can use inheritance to extend the functionality of any Stimulus component:
import Prefetch from 'stimulus-prefetch'
export default class extends Prefetch {
connect() {
super.connect()
console.log('Do what you want here.')
}
}
This controller will automatically have access to targets defined in the parent class.
If you override the connect
, disconnect
or any other methods from the parent, you'll
want to call super.method()
to make sure the parent functionality is executed.
