Using Preheat

Hi Alexander,

I'm interested in using Preheat for my project to load very deep view structures before I need them. I was looking at the code a bit, my hesitation is that Preheat may not be tool I'm looking for. Can you speak to its performance for doing that kind of preloading rather than just purely images?

Thanks!
Zack

Hi @zackshapiro. You can use Preheat for any kind of prefetching, including the case that you've described. It's a tiny library, just try it in your project and see how it works for you. Please let me know if there are some improvements that you'd like to see.

@kean thanks for the quick reply! I'm going to give it a try later today. If I'm pre-loading a view that's very complex, any chance the UI will block?

@zackshapiro sorry, can't help you with that. It depends on what you're trying to achieve and goes out of scope of Preheat. In general I would recommend to avoid any premature optimizations though.

I'm just trying to make sure the next view is built and ready to go for the user where the building of the UI doesn't interfere with the user

I'll just give it a go and see what happens :)
