MiniCrumbs
==========

[](#minicrumbs)

Super portable, lightweight breadcrumbs library

#### To install:

[](#to-install)

`composer require breadcrumbs/minicrumbs`

The way it works is it parses the request URI, ie. /home/about/company into an an iterable array of breadcrumb objects so that you can render something like: "Home | About | Company" in your markup with all the necessary links without you having to worry about the formatting, names or links.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

It's as easy as:

```
use MiniCrumbs\MiniCrumbs;

$crumbs = new MiniCrumbs();
```

This will return you an instance of MiniCrumbs of which you can:

```
$crumbsArray = $crumbs->parse();
```

This will give you an iterable object which you can loop in your templates, though a premade render function is available to the lazier ones:

```
$crumbs->render();
```

Will render the default breadcrumbs markup

Documentaion
------------

[](#documentaion)

The Minicrumbs constructor takes the following arguments:

```
MiniCrumbs($format = 'standard', $home='home', $options = array())
```

#### Format:

[](#format)

'upper', 'lower', ''standard' - (string) how the breadcrumbs should be formatted

#### Home:

[](#home)

defaults to ''home' - (string) alias for the first breadcrumb linking to home

#### Options:

[](#options)

array of options - developer options for testing e.g \['test' => true\]
