A breadcrumbs generator that use the Fluent pattern. This library is inspired by creitive/breadcrumbs but was fully rewritten to be fully customizable.

Requirement

Installation

composer require xety/breadcrumbs

Usage

Instance

To use the Breadcrumbs class, you just need to instance it :

use Xety\Breadcrumbs\Breadcrumbs;

$breadcrumbs = new Breadcrumbs;

// Or with breadcrumbs and options:
$breadcrumbs = new Breadcrumbs(
    [
        [
            'name' => 'Home',
            'href' => '/home'
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Blog',
            'href' => '/blog'
        ]
    ],
    [
        'position' => true
    ]
);

Output

To render your breadcrumbs, you can invoke the function render() or directly "echoing" it:

echo $breadcrumbs->render();

// Or, since this class implement the magic method `__toString()`,
// you can directly echo the instance :
echo $breadcrumbs;

Output examples:

This class is configured by default to render with the Bootstrap 4 style. So with the above configuration, the output will look like that :

<nav class="breadcrumb">
    <a data-position="1" class="breadcrumb-item" href="/home">Home</a>
    <span data-position="2" class="breadcrumb-item active" href="/blog">Blog</span>
</nav>

Full featured example :

$breadcrumbs = new Breadcrumbs(
    [
        [
            'name' => 'Home',
            'href' => '/home'
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Blog',
            'href' => 'blog' // Note there is no `slash` here.
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Test',
            'href' => 'http://xeta.io/blog/test'
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Article',
            'href' => '/article'
        ]
    ],
    [
        'position' => true,
        'divider' => '#',
        'dividerElement' => 'li',
        'dividerElementClasses'=> [
            'custom',
            'divider'
        ],
        'listElement' => 'ul',
        'listElementClasses' => [
            'custom',
            'container'
        ],
        'listItemElement' => 'li',
        'listItemElementClasses' => [
            'custom',
            'item'
        ],
        'listActiveElement' => 'li',
        'listActiveElementClasses' => [
            'custom',
            'active'
        ]
    ]
);

Output :

<ul class="custom container">
    <li data-position="1" class="custom item" href="/home">Home</li>
    <li class="custom divider">#</li>
    <li data-position="2" class="custom item" href="/blog">Blog</li> <!-- The slash has been automaticaly set by the class -->
    <li class="custom divider">#</li>
    <li data-position="3" class="custom item" href="http://xeta.io/blog/test">Test</li>
