Turning off prefetch for pages that not in the routes list

[SilentImp]

Hi.
Maybe it's a nice idea to turn off prefetch (which is default to true) if we don't have a page in the routes list?

Example: We are migrating site from monolith to next.js app. Now we have to manually set prefetch={false} to all links, that lead to the monolith or get 404 on prefetch attempt. But we will need to remove them after the migration is done. It would be nice to not crawl thru the project to fix all the links. And this way it can be done automatically.

With all best regards. Anton.

Hi @SilentImp, yes good idea, thanks for your PR. I'd just make it as an option.

I'm not confortable with a lib changing default params for other libs, so we could pass it as an option, what do you think?
Something like:
new UrlPrettifier(routes, {preventPrefetchIfNoRoute: true}) (preventPrefetchIfNoRoute being false by default)

Sound nice!
I will update an PR.

I don't quite like that you need to pass a property with such a long name, presumably each time you are using component … but I can't come with better naming, so I guess it's a good solution.

Yes my first idea was to pass the param to the lib entrypoint new UrlPrettifier(routes, {preventPrefetchIfNoRoute: true}), so you don't have to pass it each time ;)
