Prefetch other bundles about resource-hints-webpack-plugin HOT 4 OPEN

That's a great feature request - don't know right now how we could implement it.
The information is in the compilation variable in https://github.com/jantimon/resource-hints-webpack-plugin/blob/master/index.js#L54
But how could a good configuration syntax look like?

Would it be too confusing to just list the name of the bundles like so:

prefetch: ['bundlea', 'bundleb'],

Of course there could be some overlap with files, but that could be solved by checking both?

Right now a string would add the string to allow adding images or fonts

So I've come to use this plugin but the only assets which are passed through are only those chunks which are already used for that page and nothing else.

Ie.

<link rel="prefetch" href="vendor.js">
<link rel="prefetch" href="main.js">
<script src="vendor.js"></script>
<script src="main.js"></script>

I kinda feel like I'm doing something wrong since this seems kinda redundant? The list referenced in the source seems to just be the scripts which are rendered into the body.

Anyway.

Why not just use Object.keys(compilation.assets) in the plugin to allow people to reference and prefetch/preload any of the assets which are output by the webpack compilation?
