Implementing `useMatchPreload` for Preloading Data
A practical demonstration of using `useMatchPreload` hook with TanStack Router to preload data for anticipated navigation, improving load times and user experience.
import { useMatchPreload } from '@tanstack/react-location';
function MyComponent() {
// Using the useMatchPreload hook to create a preload function
const preloadArticle = useMatchPreload({
to: '/next-article',
search: '?preload=true'
});
return (
<div>
<a
href="/next-article"
onMouseEnter={() => preloadArticle()}
// Preload the data when the user hovers over this link
>
Next Article
</a>
</div>
);
}
This code snippet demonstrates how to use the `useMatchPreload` hook from '@tanstack/react-location' to preload data for a route when the user hovers over a link to '/next-article'. The `preloadArticle` function is created using `useMatchPreload` with the specified path and query parameters, and is triggered by the `onMouseEnter` event on the anchor tag.
