Breadcrumb

Bootstrap Breadcrumb

Indicate the current page’s location within a navigational hierarchy that automatically adds separators via CSS.

Overview

Separators are automatically added in CSS through ::before and content. 



        <nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
          <ol class="breadcrumb">
            <li class="breadcrumb-item active">Home</li>
          </ol>
        </nav>

        <nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
          <ol class="breadcrumb">
            <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
            <li class="breadcrumb-item active">Library</li>
          </ol>
        </nav>

        <nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
          <ol class="breadcrumb">
            <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
            <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Library</a></li>
            <li class="breadcrumb-item active">Data</li>
          </ol>
        </nav>

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.

Examples

With breadcrumbs you can use a diffrent types of colors or you can implement icons or images with our breadcrumbs.

There are examples.

Map of dependencies of SCSS files in MDBootstrap:


    Legend:

    '-->' means 'required'

    All free and pro files require files from 'core' catalog

    'none' means 'this component doesn't require anything except core files'

    A file wrapped by `< >` means that this file make the base component prettier but it isn't necessary for the proper working

    All PRO components require 'pro/_variables.scss' file
