Breadcrumbs
Bootstrap 5 Breadcrumbs component
Indicate the current page’s location within a navigational hierarchy that automatically adds separators via CSS.
Basic example
Changing the separator
Separators are automatically added in CSS through
::before
and
content
. They can be changed by changing $breadcrumb-divider
. The
quote
function is needed to generate the quotes around a string, so if you want
>
as separator, you can use this:
It’s also possible to use an embedded SVG icon:
The separator can be removed by setting $breadcrumb-divider
to none
:
Accessibility
Since breadcrumbs provide a navigation, it’s a good idea to add a meaningful label such as
aria-label="breadcrumb"
to describe the type of navigation provided in the
<nav>
element, as well as applying an aria-current="page"
to
the last item of the set to indicate that it represents the current page.
For more information, see the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices for the breadcrumb pattern.

CSS variables
As part of MDB’s evolving CSS variables approach, breadcrumb now uses local CSS variables on
.breadcrumb
for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables
are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.
