Example#

<Breadcrumbs>
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">March 2020 Assets</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs>
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">March 2020 Assets</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs>
  <Item key="home">
    Home
  </Item>
  <Item key="trendy">
    Trendy
  </Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">
    March 2020 Assets
  </Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

Content#

Breadcrumbs follow the Collection Components API, accepting only static children. Similar to the Menu, Breadcrumbs accept an <Item> component, each with a key prop which is passed to the onAction handler to identify the selected item. Basic usage of Breadcrumbs, seen in the example above, shows a list of Item components, populated with a string. See Events for more information.

Internationalization#

In order to internationalize Breadcrumbs, the strings of all child items should be localized.

Events#

Use the onAction prop as a callback to handle press events on items.

function Example() {
  let folders = [
    {id: 1, label: 'Home'},
    {id: 2, label: 'Trendy'},
    {id: 3, label: 'March 2020 Assets'}
  ];
  let [folderId, setFolderId] = React.useState();
  return (
    <div>
      <Breadcrumbs onAction={(a) => setFolderId(a)}>
        {folders.map(f => <Item key={f.id}>{f.label}</Item>)}
      </Breadcrumbs>
      <p>You pressed folder ID: {folderId}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let folders = [
    {id: 1, label: 'Home'},
    {id: 2, label: 'Trendy'},
    {id: 3, label: 'March 2020 Assets'}
  ];
  let [folderId, setFolderId] = React.useState();
  return (
    <div>
      <Breadcrumbs onAction={(a) => setFolderId(a)}>
        {folders.map((f) => (
          <Item key={f.id}>{f.label}</Item>
        ))}
      </Breadcrumbs>
      <p>You pressed folder ID: {folderId}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let folders = [
    {
      id: 1,
      label: 'Home'
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      label: 'Trendy'
    },
    {
      id: 3,
      label:
        'March 2020 Assets'
    }
  ];
  let [
    folderId,
    setFolderId
  ] = React.useState();
  return (
    <div>
      <Breadcrumbs
        onAction={(a) =>
          setFolderId(a)
        }>
        {folders.map(
          (f) => (
            <Item
              key={f.id}>
              {f.label}
            </Item>
          )
        )}
      </Breadcrumbs>
      <p>
        You pressed
        folder ID:{' '}
        {folderId}
      </p>
    </div>
  );
}

Size#

View guidelines

The small size is useful when available space is limited.

<Breadcrumbs size="S">
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs size="S">
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs size="S">
  <Item key="home">
    Home
  </Item>
  <Item key="trendy">
    Trendy
  </Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

The medium size is the default.

<Breadcrumbs size="M">
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs size="M">
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs size="M">
  <Item key="home">
    Home
  </Item>
  <Item key="trendy">
    Trendy
  </Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

The large size places emphasis on the selected item as a page title or heading.

<Breadcrumbs size="L">
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs size="L">
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs size="L">
  <Item key="home">
    Home
  </Item>
  <Item key="trendy">
    Trendy
  </Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

Heading#

Use the isHeading prop to add a role of "heading" to the highlighted item. If a change to the aria-level is required, use the headingAriaLevel prop.

<Breadcrumbs isHeading headingAriaLevel={2}>
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">March 2020 Assets</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs isHeading headingAriaLevel={2}>
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">March 2020 Assets</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs
  isHeading
  headingAriaLevel={2}>
  <Item key="home">
    Home
  </Item>
  <Item key="trendy">
    Trendy
  </Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">
    March 2020 Assets
  </Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

Visible items (overflow behavior)#

View guidelines

Breadcrumbs collapse into a menu by default, showing only a maximum of visible 4 items.

If using maxVisibleItems="auto", overflow of breadcrumb items begins when there is not enough room to display all items in the parent container.

In order to manually control the overflow, use the maxVisibleItems prop.

<Breadcrumbs maxVisibleItems={2}>
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">March 2020 Assets</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs maxVisibleItems={2}>
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">March 2020 Assets</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs
  maxVisibleItems={2}>
  <Item key="home">
    Home
  </Item>
  <Item key="trendy">
    Trendy
  </Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">
    March 2020 Assets
  </Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

Root context#

View guidelines

Some applications find that displaying the root item is useful for orienting users. This variation keeps the root visible when other items are truncated into the menu.

<View overflow="hidden" width="200px">
  <Breadcrumbs showRoot maxVisibleItems="auto">
    <Item key="home">Home</Item>
    <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
    <Item key="2020 assets">March 2020 Assets</Item>
    <Item key="winter">Winter</Item>
    <Item key="holiday">Holiday</Item>
  </Breadcrumbs>
</View>

<View overflow="hidden" width="200px">
  <Breadcrumbs showRoot maxVisibleItems="auto">

    <Item key="winter">Winter</Item>
    <Item key="holiday">Holiday</Item>
  </Breadcrumbs>
</View>

    </Item>
    <Item key="trendy">

    <Item key="2020 assets">

    </Item>
    <Item key="winter">
      Winter
    </Item>
    <Item key="holiday">
      Holiday
    </Item>
  </Breadcrumbs>
</View>

Disabled#

Breadcrumbs in a disabled state shows that selection exists, but is not available in that circumstance. This can be used to maintain layout continuity.

<Breadcrumbs isDisabled>
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">March 2020 Assets</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs isDisabled>
  <Item key="home">Home</Item>
  <Item key="trendy">Trendy</Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">March 2020 Assets</Item>
</Breadcrumbs>

<Breadcrumbs
  isDisabled>
  <Item key="home">
    Home
  </Item>
  <Item key="trendy">
    Trendy
  </Item>
  <Item key="march 2020 assets">
    March 2020 Assets
  </Item>
</Breadcrumbs>
