This package allows you to manage and render breadcrumbs within your Laravel application.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require esign/laravel-breadcrumbs
```

The package will automatically register a service provider.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You may start adding breadcrumbs by using the `Breadcrumbs` facade. This is typically done from the controller.

```
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Breadcrumb;
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::add('Home', 'http://example.com');
Breadcrumbs::add(Breadcrumb::create('Home', 'http://example.com'));
```

Or add multiple breadcrumbs at once:

```
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Breadcrumb;
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::add([
    'Home' => 'https://www.example.com',
    'Blog' => null,
]);
Breadcrumbs::add([
    Breadcrumb::create('Home', 'https://www.example.com'),
    Breadcrumb::create('Blog'),
]);
```

You may also prepend breadcrumbs. This may be useful when you always want to add a Home breadcrumb:

```
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Breadcrumb;
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::prepend('Home', route('home'));
Breadcrumbs::prepend(Breadcrumb::create('Home', route('home')));
```

### Converting to JsonLd

[](#converting-to-jsonld)

To convert your breadcrumbs to [JSON-LD](https://json-ld.org/) you may use the `toJsonLd` method. This method will return an instance of `Spatie\SchemaOrg\BreadcrumbList`.

```
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::toJsonLd();
```

You may cast this instance to a string to render the actual script tag:

```
(string) Breadcrumbs::toJsonLd(); // ...
```

### Rendering breadcrumbs

[](#rendering-breadcrumbs)

This package ships with a view component to render your breadcrumbs trail:

```

```

This will render the following HTML:

```
use Esign\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Breadcrumbs;

Breadcrumbs::add([
    'Home' => 'https://www.example.com',
    'Blog' => null,
]);
```

```

    Home

  Blog

```

### Customizing the breadcrumbs view

[](#customizing-the-breadcrumbs-view)

In case you want to customize the view components you may publish the views:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Esign\Breadcrumbs\BreadcrumbsServiceProvider" --tag="views"
```

### Testing

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```
