with RouterProvider in Next.js, do i need to wrap navigate in startTransition?

[stefanprobst]

i am using RouterProvider in a next.js app, and i am not sure if the provided navigate function (i.e. router.push) should be wrapped in startTransition?

i had a look what the next/link component does internally, and afaiu it does wrap router.push/replace with startTransition when using the app router, see: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/client/link.tsx#L221-L242

(also not sure if i need to do anything extra for prefetch-on-hover to work?)

thanks!

I'm not sure about the startTransition, it seems like we could do that, or since we just call whatever navigate function you provide, you could put in the startTransition yourself and wrap whatever you were previously sending in. I don't know if we know enough to always do that.
