Breadcrumb

<sc-breadcrumb> | ScBreadcrumb
Since 2.0 stable

Breadcrumbs provide a group of links so users can easily navigate a website’s hierarchy.

Breadcrumbs are usually placed before a page’s main content with the current page shown last to indicate the user’s position in the navigation.

Catalog Clothing Women’s Shirts & Tops 
<sc-breadcrumb>
  <sc-breadcrumb-item>Catalog</sc-breadcrumb-item>
  <sc-breadcrumb-item>Clothing</sc-breadcrumb-item>
  <sc-breadcrumb-item>Women's</sc-breadcrumb-item>
  <sc-breadcrumb-item>Shirts &amp; Tops</sc-breadcrumb-item>
</sc-breadcrumb>

import ScBreadcrumb from '@styledc-dev/styledc/dist/react/breadcrumb';
import ScBreadcrumbItem from '@styledc-dev/styledc/dist/react/breadcrumb-item';

const App = () => (
  <ScBreadcrumb>
    <ScBreadcrumbItem>Catalog</ScBreadcrumbItem>
    <ScBreadcrumbItem>Clothing</ScBreadcrumbItem>
    <ScBreadcrumbItem>Women's</ScBreadcrumbItem>
    <ScBreadcrumbItem>Shirts &amp; Tops</ScBreadcrumbItem>
  </ScBreadcrumb>
);

Examples

By default, breadcrumb items are rendered as buttons so you can use them to navigate single-page applications. In this case, you’ll need to add event listeners to handle clicks.

For websites, you’ll probably want to use links instead. You can make any breadcrumb item a link by applying an href attribute to it. Now, when the user activates it, they’ll be taken to the corresponding page — no event listeners required.

import ScBreadcrumb from '@styledc-dev/styledc/dist/react/breadcrumb';
import ScBreadcrumbItem from '@styledc-dev/styledc/dist/react/breadcrumb-item';

const App = () => (

  </ScBreadcrumb>
);

Custom Separators

Use the separator slot to change the separator that goes between breadcrumb items. Icons work well, but you can also use text or an image.

<sc-breadcrumb>
  <sc-icon name="dot" slot="separator"></sc-icon>
  <sc-breadcrumb-item>First</sc-breadcrumb-item>
  <sc-breadcrumb-item>Second</sc-breadcrumb-item>
  <sc-breadcrumb-item>Third</sc-breadcrumb-item>
</sc-breadcrumb>

import ScBreadcrumb from '@styledc-dev/styledc/dist/react/breadcrumb';
import ScBreadcrumbItem from '@styledc-dev/styledc/dist/react/breadcrumb-item';

      <ScBreadcrumbItem>First</ScBreadcrumbItem>
      <ScBreadcrumbItem>Second</ScBreadcrumbItem>
      <ScBreadcrumbItem>Third</ScBreadcrumbItem>
    </ScBreadcrumb>

    <br />

    <ScBreadcrumb>
      <span slot="separator">/</span>
      <ScBreadcrumbItem>First</ScBreadcrumbItem>
      <ScBreadcrumbItem>Second</ScBreadcrumbItem>
      <ScBreadcrumbItem>Third</ScBreadcrumbItem>
    </ScBreadcrumb>
  </>
);
