README

Navigation path indicators with customizable separators. Built for Laravel with support for Livewire, Blade, and Alpine.js.

Installation

composer require mrshanebarron/breadcrumbs

The service provider will be auto-discovered. If you need to register it manually:

// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    // ...
    MrShaneBarron\Breadcrumbs\BreadcrumbsServiceProvider::class,
];

Usage

Livewire Component

<livewire:ld-breadcrumbs />

Blade Component

<x-ld-breadcrumbs />

With Props

<x-ld-breadcrumbs
    :items="[]"
    separator='/'
    :homeIcon="true"
/>

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Description
items	array	[]	Array of breadcrumb items with 'label' and 'url'
separator	string	'/'	Separator character between items
homeIcon	boolean	true	Show home icon for first item

Configuration

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ld-breadcrumbs-config

This will create a config/ld-breadcrumbs.php file where you can customize default values.

Customization

Publishing Views

Customize the component appearance by publishing the views:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=ld-breadcrumbs-views

Views will be published to resources/views/vendor/ld-breadcrumbs/.

Styling

The component uses Tailwind CSS classes by default. You can customize styles by:

1. Publishing views and modifying the Blade templates
2. Using the class attribute to add custom classes
3. Overriding default styles in your CSS

<x-ld-breadcrumbs class="custom-class" />

Events

The component dispatches Livewire events you can listen to:

Event	Payload	Description
breadcrumbs:updated	Component data	Fired when state changes
breadcrumbs:initialized	Initial data	Fired on component mount

// In your Livewire component
protected $listeners = ['breadcrumbs:updated' => 'handleUpdate'];

public function handleUpdate($data)
{
    // Handle the update
}

Alpine.js Integration

The component works seamlessly with Alpine.js:

<div x-data="{ ' }} selected: null {{ ' }">
    <x-ld-breadcrumbs x-model="selected" />
    <p x-text="selected"></p>
</div>

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• Laravel 10.x, 11.x, or 12.x
• Livewire 3.x
• Tailwind CSS 3.x (optional, for default styling)
