[![Build](https://github.com/orestbida/link-prefetcher/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/orestbida/link-prefetcher/actions/workflows/build.yml)

A tiny link prefetcher (yet another one in the sea of prefetching tools). Uses `fetch`/`xhr` to prefetch links rather than the `link` tag.

### `prefetchHover()`

Start prefetching as soon as possible. Abort if the cursor leaves the anchor tag before the prefetch process is done.

### `prefetchVisible()`

Immediately prefetch all visible links (⚠️ use with caution, can eat up a lot of bandwidth).

## Installation

```bash

npm i @orestbida/link-prefetcher

```

## Usage

```javascript

import { prefetchHover } from 'link-prefetcher';

prefetchHover();

```

or

```html

    window.addEventListener('load', () => {

        LinkPrefetcher.prefetchHover()

    });

```
