Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are a navigation system used to show a user's location in a site or app.

Install

One package and one stylesheet. The stylesheet carries the tokens every component reads.

pnpm add @wolf-rayet/react
import '@wolf-rayet/react/css/wolf-rayet.css';
import { Breadcrumbs } from '@wolf-rayet/react';

Props

A required prop is marked with an asterisk.

PropTypeDefaultDescription
items *readonly Crumb[]—The trail from the root to where the reader is, in that order. Each needs a label and usually an href.
maxItemsnumber8Above this the middle collapses behind an ellipsis, so a deep trail does not wrap.

Accessibility

What the component does for you, and what it needs from you.

  • The trail is a navigation landmark holding an ordered list, so it can be jumped to and its depth is announced.
  • The current page is marked as current rather than only shown differently.
  • A collapsed middle is reachable rather than hidden outright, so the full path is still available.
