Breadcrumb

The Breadcrumb component provides a navigation aid that shows users their current location within a hierarchical structure. It automatically handles overflow by collapsing items into a dropdown when space is limited, ensuring a clean and responsive navigation experience. Perfect for showing navigation paths in documentation, dashboards, and multi-level content structures.

Basic breadcrumb

The Breadcrumb component displays a list of navigation items separated by slashes. Items with URLs are clickable links.

Home / Documentation / Components / Breadcrumb
Source code
<template>
  <IkBreadcrumb :items="breadcrumbItems" />
</template>
<script setup>
import { IkBreadcrumb } from '@ikol/ui-kit/components/IkBreadcrumb';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const breadcrumbItems = ref([
  { label: 'Home', url: '/' },
  { label: 'Documentation', url: '/docs' },
  { label: 'Components', url: '/docs/components' },
  { label: 'Breadcrumb' }
]);
</script>

Items without URLs are displayed as plain text and are not clickable. This is useful for showing the current page or non-navigable items.

Home / Products / Electronics / Current Product
Source code
<template>
  <IkBreadcrumb :items="breadcrumbItems" />
</template>
<script setup>
import { IkBreadcrumb } from '@ikol/ui-kit/components/IkBreadcrumb';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const breadcrumbItems = ref([
  { label: 'Home', url: '/' },
  { label: 'Products', url: '/products' },
  { label: 'Electronics', url: '/products/electronics' },
  { label: 'Current Product' } // No URL - not clickable
]);
</script>

Responsive overflow handling

When the breadcrumb items exceed the available width, the component automatically collapses earlier items into a dropdown menu. The component responds to window resize events and adjusts dynamically.

Home / Category / Subcategory / Product Type / Product Name / Product Details
Source code
<template>
  <div style="width: 300px; border: 2px dashed var(--border-neutral-regular-default); padding: var(--s-3);">
    <IkBreadcrumb :items="longBreadcrumbItems" />
  </div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { IkBreadcrumb } from '@ikol/ui-kit/components/IkBreadcrumb';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const longBreadcrumbItems = ref([
  { label: 'Home', url: '/' },
  { label: 'Category', url: '/category' },
  { label: 'Subcategory', url: '/category/subcategory' },
  { label: 'Product Type', url: '/category/subcategory/type' },
  { label: 'Product Name', url: '/category/subcategory/type/name' },
  { label: 'Product Details' }
]);
</script>
