WebLink Component
=================

[](#weblink-component)

The WebLink component manages links between resources. It is particularly useful to advise clients to preload and prefetch documents through HTTP and HTTP/2 pushes.

This component implements the [HTML5's Links](https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/links.html), [Preload](https://www.w3.org/TR/preload/) and [Resource Hints](https://www.w3.org/TR/resource-hints/) W3C's specifications. It can also be used with extensions defined in the [HTML5 link type extensions wiki](http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values#HTML5_link_type_extensions).

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

```
composer require symfony/web-link
```

```
use Symfony\Component\WebLink\GenericLinkProvider;
use Symfony\Component\WebLink\HttpHeaderSerializer;
use Symfony\Component\WebLink\Link;

$linkProvider = (new GenericLinkProvider())
    ->withLink(new Link('preload', '/bootstrap.min.css'));

header('Link: '.(new HttpHeaderSerializer())->serialize($linkProvider->getLinks()));

echo 'Hello';
```
