Ngx Hover Preload

Overview

The mgechevngx-hover-preload package is an innovative solution designed for applications that utilize lazy-loaded routes within Angular. By employing a preloading strategy that activates on mouse hover over router links, it optimizes user experience by anticipating navigation needs and preloading the necessary modules. This approach minimizes waiting times, making transitions smoother and more efficient.

In a world where performance is key, this package stands out among alternatives by providing a less aggressive yet effective preloading strategy. While other options like ngx-quicklink and Guess.js offer alternate methods of preloading, the hover-triggered mechanism strikes a balance between resource usage and user responsiveness.

Features

• Preloading on Hover: Activates module preloading as users hover over router links, enhancing navigation speeds.

• Easy Integration: Simple to install and set up within existing Angular applications, requiring minimal configuration for effective use.

• Modular Design: Works seamlessly with lazy-loaded modules, ensuring preloading is only activated where it's beneficial.

• Fallback Mechanism: In case of incorrect predictions, it gracefully reverts to hover preloading, ensuring reliability in navigation.

• Lightweight: Does not overwhelm network or CPU resources as it preloads only when necessary, unlike more aggressive strategies.

• Flexibility: Allows disabling prefetching for specific routes, providing developers with greater control over performance management.

• MIT License: Freedom to modify and use within your projects ensures that it can fit a variety of development needs.
