Can I prefetch a query which is called at server side on hovering a link or so
for example we had like this for client queries from apollo docs

---

 const    client  =  useApolloClient()

<Link
            to={{
              pathname: `/${data.breed}/${data.id}`,
              state: { id: data.id }
            }}
            onMouseOver={() =>
              client.query({
                query: GET_DOG,
                variables: { breed: data.breed }
              })
            }
            style={{ textDecoration: "none" }}
          >
            <Dog {...data} url={data.displayImage} />
         </Link>

@phryneas can u help me in with to prefetch the query called at server side on hovering a link when we are using this new "@apollo/experimental-nextjs-app-support/ssr" . Prefetching the query will help me to land to the page instantaneously

[phryneas]

You would do exactly that. After the first page load, there is no further SSR in Next.js, so nothing changed here.

@phryneas what do you suggest . what cud be done?

[phryneas]

Ah, wait a second, you mean "server side", so we're talking RSC here, not SSR? Next.js already does this for RSC page navigations if you use their Link component, nothing for you to do.

Does not seem to work in the case of graphql , I see ui from loading.js for milli secs . If link component is prefetching, then this shud not have happened @phryneas

[phryneas]

I am even more confused now.... React Server Components should give you static HTML. If you are indeed trying to do this in a RSC and prefetching doesn't work, you might have found a bug in the App Router and check that with the Next.js maintainers.

I'm doing some housekeeping so I'm closing some older issues that haven't seen activity in a while. If this is still relevant, please feel free to reopen the issue.
