Option to limit the maximum number of prefetched requests

See original GitHub issue

It would be nice to limit the number of links that will be prefetched which can also default at a sane number.

Proposed API: options.limit

Would love to get your feedback on naming & default limit

I like the simplicity of limit, but I don’t have a strong opinion on naming. maxConcurrentPrefetches is another one.

In retrospect, given the browser and server configuration will impact what “parallel” or “concurrent” mean, limit might make the most sense.

Hi everyone, just see the 1.0.1 release 🎉 and joining the conversation to give my opinion.

I am working with the team of @barbajs and we have a module called @barba/prefetch, inspired by quicklink, that prefetch in-viewport links of a web page: https://barba.js.org/docs/v2/user/prefetch.html.

We already discussed about having a limit parameter in this module, but in most cases, we noticed that the viewport doesn’t really contain more than 5/10 “un-prefetched” links at a time. We wan’t to keep BarbaJS as simple as possible, so this feature is not implemented yet.

From my point of view, if you decide to add this option, you should go with limit to keep the name simple. That make sense.

Keep this lib moving forward! 😉
