Latest Version on Packagist Total Downloads GitHub Actions

This package allows you to manage and render breadcrumbs within your Laravel application.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require esign/laravel-breadcrumbs

The package will automatically register a service provider.

Usage

You may start adding breadcrumbs by using the Breadcrumbs facade. This is typically done from the controller.

use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Breadcrumb;
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::add('Home', 'http://example.com');
Breadcrumbs::add(Breadcrumb::create('Home', 'http://example.com'));

Or add multiple breadcrumbs at once:

use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Breadcrumb;
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::add([
    'Home' => 'https://www.example.com',
    'Blog' => null,
]);
Breadcrumbs::add([
    Breadcrumb::create('Home', 'https://www.example.com'),
    Breadcrumb::create('Blog'),
]);

You may also prepend breadcrumbs. This may be useful when you always want to add a Home breadcrumb:

use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Breadcrumb;
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::prepend('Home', route('home'));
Breadcrumbs::prepend(Breadcrumb::create('Home', route('home')));

Converting to JsonLd

To convert your breadcrumbs to JSON-LD you may use the toJsonLd method. This method will return an instance of Spatie\SchemaOrg\BreadcrumbList.

use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::toJsonLd();

You may cast this instance to a string to render the actual script tag:

(string) Breadcrumbs::toJsonLd(); // <script type="application/ld+json">...</script>

Rendering breadcrumbs

This package ships with a view component to render your breadcrumbs trail:

<x-breadcrumbs />

This will render the following HTML:

use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::add([
    'Home' => 'https://www.example.com',
    'Blog' => null,
]);
<ol class="breadcrumbs">
  <li class="breadcrumbs__item">
    <a href="https://www.example.com" class="breadcrumbs__link">Home</a>
  </li>
  <li class="breadcrumbs__item">Blog</li>
</ol>

Customizing the breadcrumbs view

In case you want to customize the view components you may publish the views:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Esign\Breadcrumbs\BreadcrumbsServiceProvider" --tag="views"
