Customize prefetching by combining multiple interactions.

import React, {Fragment} from 'react';
import Prefetcher from 'react-prefetcher';
 
export default () => (
  <Fragement>
    <Prefetcher
      onRenderAssets="https://example.com/on-render-asset-url"
      onHoverAssets="https://example.com/on-hover-asset-url"
      onClickAssets="https://example.com/on-click-asset-url"
    >
      <p>
        1. Prefetches https://example.com/on-render-asset-url on render of this `<p />` tag.
        2. Prefetches https://example.com/on-hover-asset-url when the user hovers this `<p />` tag.
        3. Prefetches https://example.com/on-click-asset-url when the user clicks this `<p />` tag.
      </p>
    </Prefetcher>
  </Fragment>
