Crumbler is a breadcrumb trail generator for Laravel 4.

Install
=======

[](#install)

Installation is done with composer.

Add the following to the composer.json file in your Laravel 4 project.

```
"require": {
	...
	"bad-mushroom/Crumbler": "dev-master"
},

```

Next, update Composer:

```
composer update

```

Now open `app/config/app.php` in your Laravel project to add the service provider:

```
'providers' => array(
	...
	'Badmushroom\Crumbler\CrumblerServiceProvider',
),

```

In the same file, add the facade alias:

```
'aliases' => array(
	...
	'Crumbler' => 'Badmushroom\Crumbler\Facades\Crumbler'
),

```

Use
===

[](#use)

There are two methods that you'll use.

To add a breadcrumb to your code use:

```
Crumbler::crumb('Crumb Name', 'uri');

```

To generate the HTML for the crumb trail:

```
Crumbler::build();

```

build() takes an optional string parameter for the breadcrumb separator. This can be a single character like '>' or a a line of html like <span class="myClass">::</span>. The default is: <span class="separator">/</span>

As an example, in your controller file:

```
// You can add some base breadcrumbs in your constructor.
public function __construct()
{
	Crumbler::crumb('1', 'one');
	Crumbler::crumb('2', 'two');
}

public function yourMethod()
{
	Crumbler::crumb('3', 'three');
	$crumbs = Crumbler::build();

	return View::make('yourView')->with('crumbs', $crumbs);
}

```

The above example would output the following in your view:

```

	1/
	2/
	3

```

The last breadcrumb element will be considered the "active" link. You'll also want to add your own css as necessary.
