Content

This package contains a service and a custom preload strategy.

• RequestIdle (service)

  • callback() -> Queues a function to be called during a browser's idle periods.
  • requestAnimationFrame() -> this method tells the browser that you wish to perform an animation and requests that the browser calls a specified function to update an animation before the next repaint.

• RequestIdlePreloadAllModules (Preload Strategy)

  • This strategy combines the 2 methods of the requestidle service to ensure a preload without blockages
