  BreadcrumbItem,
  BreadcrumbLink,
  BreadcrumbList,
  BreadcrumbPage,
  BreadcrumbSeparator,
} from "@/components/ui/breadcrumb"

Usage

import {
  Breadcrumb,
  BreadcrumbItem,
  BreadcrumbLink,
  BreadcrumbList,
  BreadcrumbPage,
  BreadcrumbSeparator,
} from "@/components/ui/breadcrumb"
<Breadcrumb>
  <BreadcrumbList>
    <BreadcrumbItem>
      <BreadcrumbLink render={<a href="/" />}>Home</BreadcrumbLink>
    </BreadcrumbItem>
    <BreadcrumbSeparator />
    <BreadcrumbItem>
      <BreadcrumbLink render={<a href="/components" />}>
        Components
      </BreadcrumbLink>
    </BreadcrumbItem>
    <BreadcrumbSeparator />
    <BreadcrumbItem>
      <BreadcrumbPage>Breadcrumb</BreadcrumbPage>
    </BreadcrumbItem>
  </BreadcrumbList>
</Breadcrumb>

Composition

Use the following composition to build a Breadcrumb:

Breadcrumb
└── BreadcrumbList
    ├── BreadcrumbItem
    │   └── BreadcrumbLink
    ├── BreadcrumbSeparator
    ├── BreadcrumbItem
    │   └── BreadcrumbLink
    ├── BreadcrumbSeparator
    └── BreadcrumbItem
        └── BreadcrumbPage

Basic

A basic breadcrumb with a home link and a components link.

import {
  Breadcrumb,
  BreadcrumbItem,
  BreadcrumbLink,
  BreadcrumbList,
  BreadcrumbPage,
  BreadcrumbSeparator,
} from "@/components/ui/breadcrumb"

export function BreadcrumbBasic() {
  return (
    <Breadcrumb>
      <BreadcrumbList>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink href="#">Home</BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator />
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink href="#">Components</BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator />
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbPage>Breadcrumb</BreadcrumbPage>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
      </BreadcrumbList>
    </Breadcrumb>
  )
}

Custom separator

Use a custom component as children for <BreadcrumbSeparator /> to create a custom separator.

import { DotIcon } from "@/components/icons"
import {
  Breadcrumb,
  BreadcrumbItem,
  BreadcrumbLink,
  BreadcrumbList,
  BreadcrumbPage,
  BreadcrumbSeparator,
} from "@/components/ui/breadcrumb"

export function BreadcrumbSeparatorDemo() {
  return (
    <Breadcrumb>
      <BreadcrumbList>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink render={<a href="/" />}>Home</BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator>
          <DotIcon />
        </BreadcrumbSeparator>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink render={<a href="/components" />}>
            Components
          </BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator>
          <DotIcon />
        </BreadcrumbSeparator>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbPage>Breadcrumb</BreadcrumbPage>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
      </BreadcrumbList>
    </Breadcrumb>
  )
}

You can compose <BreadcrumbItem /> with a <DropdownMenu /> to create a dropdown in the breadcrumb.

import { ChevronDownIcon, DotIcon } from "@/components/icons"
import {
  Breadcrumb,
  BreadcrumbItem,
  BreadcrumbLink,
  BreadcrumbList,
  BreadcrumbPage,
  BreadcrumbSeparator,
} from "@/components/ui/breadcrumb"
import {
  DropdownMenu,
  DropdownMenuContent,
  DropdownMenuGroup,
  DropdownMenuItem,
  DropdownMenuTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/dropdown-menu"

export function BreadcrumbDropdown() {
  return (
    <Breadcrumb>
      <BreadcrumbList>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink render={<a href="/" />}>Home</BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator>
          <DotIcon />
        </BreadcrumbSeparator>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <DropdownMenu>
            <DropdownMenuTrigger
              render={<button class="flex items-center gap-1" />}
            >
              Components
              <ChevronDownIcon data-icon="inline-end" class="size-3.5" />
            </DropdownMenuTrigger>
            <DropdownMenuContent align="start">
              <DropdownMenuGroup>
                <DropdownMenuItem>Documentation</DropdownMenuItem>
                <DropdownMenuItem>Themes</DropdownMenuItem>
                <DropdownMenuItem>GitHub</DropdownMenuItem>
              </DropdownMenuGroup>
            </DropdownMenuContent>
          </DropdownMenu>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator>
          <DotIcon />
        </BreadcrumbSeparator>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbPage>Breadcrumb</BreadcrumbPage>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
      </BreadcrumbList>
    </Breadcrumb>
  )
}

Collapsed

We provide a <BreadcrumbEllipsis /> component to show a collapsed state when the breadcrumb is too long.

import {
  Breadcrumb,
  BreadcrumbEllipsis,
  BreadcrumbItem,
  BreadcrumbLink,
  BreadcrumbList,
  BreadcrumbPage,
  BreadcrumbSeparator,
} from "@/components/ui/breadcrumb"

export function BreadcrumbEllipsisDemo() {
  return (
    <Breadcrumb>
      <BreadcrumbList>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink render={<a href="/" />}>Home</BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator />
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbEllipsis />
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator />
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink render={<a href="/docs/components" />}>
            Components
          </BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator />
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbPage>Breadcrumb</BreadcrumbPage>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
      </BreadcrumbList>
    </Breadcrumb>
  )
}

To use a custom link component from your routing library, you can use the render prop on <BreadcrumbLink />.

import {
  Breadcrumb,
  BreadcrumbItem,
  BreadcrumbLink,
  BreadcrumbList,
  BreadcrumbPage,
  BreadcrumbSeparator,
} from "@/components/ui/breadcrumb"

export function BreadcrumbLinkDemo() {
  return (
    <Breadcrumb>
      <BreadcrumbList>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink render={<a href="#link-component" />}>
            Home
          </BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator />
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink render={<a href="#link-component" />}>
            Components
          </BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator />
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbPage>Breadcrumb</BreadcrumbPage>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
      </BreadcrumbList>
    </Breadcrumb>
  )
}

RTL

To enable RTL support in shadcn/ui, see the RTL configuration guide.

// This example sets dir and uses useTranslation because this site is not RTL.

// In an RTL app you won't need them; see the RTL guide.

  type Translations,
  useTranslation,

}
