Breadcrumb

A breadcrumb displays the current location within a hierarchy. It allows going back to states higher up in the hierarchy.

When To Use#

  • When the system has more than two layers in a hierarchy.

  • When you need to inform the user of where they are.

  • When the user may need to navigate back to a higher level.

  • When the application has multi-layer architecture.

Examples

The simplest use

import { Breadcrumb } from 'antd';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Breadcrumb>
    <Breadcrumb.Item>Home</Breadcrumb.Item>
    <Breadcrumb.Item><a href="">Application Center</a></Breadcrumb.Item>
    <Breadcrumb.Item><a href="">Application List</a></Breadcrumb.Item>
    <Breadcrumb.Item>An Application</Breadcrumb.Item>
  </Breadcrumb>
, mountNode);

Used together with react-router@2 react-router@3.

expand codeexpand code
import { Router, Route, Link, hashHistory } from 'react-router';
import { Breadcrumb, Alert } from 'antd';

const Apps = () => (
  <ul className="app-list">
    <li>
      <Link to="/apps/1">Application1</Link><Link to="/apps/1/detail">Detail</Link>
    </li>
    <li>
      <Link to="/apps/2">Application2</Link><Link to="/apps/2/detail">Detail</Link>
    </li>
  </ul>
);

const Home = ({ routes, params, children }) => (
  <div className="demo">
    <div className="demo-nav">
      <Link to="/">Home</Link>
      <Link to="/apps">Application List</Link>
    </div>
    {children || 'Home Page'}
    <Alert style={{ margin: '16px 0' }} message="Click the navigation above to switch:" />
    <Breadcrumb routes={routes} params={params} />
  </div>
);

ReactDOM.render(
  <Router history={hashHistory}>
    <Route name="home" breadcrumbName="Home" path="/" component={Home}>
      <Route name="apps" breadcrumbName="Application List" path="apps" component={Apps}>
        <Route name="app" breadcrumbName="Application:id" path=":id">
          <Route name="detail" breadcrumbName="Detail" path="detail" />
        </Route>
      </Route>
    </Route>
  </Router>
, mountNode);
.demo {
  margin: 16px;
}
.demo-nav {
  height: 30px;
  line-height: 30px;
  margin-bottom: 16px;
  background: #f8f8f8;
}
.demo-nav a {
  line-height: 30px;
  padding: 0 8px;
}
.app-list {
  margin-top: 16px;
}

The separator can be customized by setting the separator property: separator=">"

expand codeexpand code
import { Breadcrumb } from 'antd';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Breadcrumb separator=">">
    <Breadcrumb.Item>Home</Breadcrumb.Item>
    <Breadcrumb.Item href="">Application Center</Breadcrumb.Item>
    <Breadcrumb.Item href="">Application List</Breadcrumb.Item>
    <Breadcrumb.Item>An Application</Breadcrumb.Item>
  </Breadcrumb>
, mountNode);
/Application List/Application/

The icon should be placed in front of the text.

expand codeexpand code
import { Breadcrumb, Icon } from 'antd';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Breadcrumb>
    <Breadcrumb.Item href="">
      <Icon type="home" />
    </Breadcrumb.Item>
    <Breadcrumb.Item href="">
      <Icon type="user" />
      <span>Application List</span>
    </Breadcrumb.Item>
    <Breadcrumb.Item>
      Application
    </Breadcrumb.Item>
  </Breadcrumb>
, mountNode);

linkRender and nameRender were removed after antd@2.0, please use itemRender instead.

Use with browserHistory#

The link of Breadcrumb item targets # by default, you can use itemRender to make a browserHistory Link.

import { Link } from 'react-router';

const routes = [{
  path: 'index',
  breadcrumbName: 'home'
}, {
  path: 'first',
  breadcrumbName: 'first'
}, {
  path: 'second',
  breadcrumbName: 'second'
}];
function itemRender(route, params, routes, paths) {
  const last = routes.indexOf(route) === routes.length - 1;
  return last ? <span>{route.breadcrumbName}</span> : <Link to={paths.join('/')}>{route.breadcrumbName}</Link>;
}

return <Breadcrumb itemRender={itemRender} routes={routes} />;
