CDK-Feature: Breakpoints based on User-Connectivity

[philly-vanilly]

Please describe the feature you would like to request.

I would like the CDK to have something like the screen-size breakpoints except for user-connectivity

What is the use-case or motivation for this proposal?

As a user, many loading indicators can be annoying when you have a good internet connection, but when you have a slow one, you would like to see that there is some progress going on in the background, so you don't execute any refresh actions.

You could also make prefetching of certain data optional.

Anything else you should know

It seems there is a lib for that already, but I'd prefer a semi-official (Material) solution: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng-connection-service

Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.
