Demo

The /demo directory provide one example of how this package can be used. See the /demo for the code powering the small site.

Usage

This package exposes two components, a <Breadcrumbs> component to wrap the entire application and a <Breadcrumb> component to use throughout the different sections (e.g. <Route>s) within the application.

Breadcrumbs

The top-level <Breadcrumbs> component accepts the following props:

className (string): A class name for the outer wrapper element.
hidden (bool): Hide the inner breadcrumbs wrapper.
setCrumbs (func): A function(crumbs: [Object]): [Object] which will be called before crumbs are rendered.
wrapper (func|class): A react component to use for the inner wrapper.

Breadcrumb

data (object): An extended location descriptor. See below...
hidden (bool): Hide an individual breadcrumb (rarely needed).

The data object allows any valid location descriptor key (e.g. pathname or search) as well as a title prop:

{
  title: 'Home', // Any valid `PropTypes.node`
  pathname: '/',
  // ... any other location descriptor values
}

The fact that the title can be any valid PropTypes.node allows for a huge amount of customization. The following values are all valid:

title: 'Home'
title: <span title="Hovered!">Home</span>
title: <CustomComponent title="Home" icon="house" />
