Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs in general are automated. However they can be modified, disabled, and managed manually too.

Basic Usage

To add manage breadcrumbs for your own module you must first include the \Anomaly\Streams\Platform\Ui\Breadcrumb\BreadcrumbCollection class.

BreadcrumbCollection::add()

The add method adds a breadcrumb to the end of the collection.

Returns: \Anomaly\Streams\Platform\Ui\Breadcrumb\BreadcrumbCollection
Arguments
Key Required Type Default Description

$key

true

string

none

The breadcrumb key name. Translation keys are supported.

$url

true

string

none

The URL or path for the breadcrumb.

Example
$breadcrumbs->add('anomaly.module.products::breadcrumb.products', '/products');
**Note:** Breadcrumbs are available as a property in controllers by default.
<?php namespace Anomaly\ProductsModule\Http\Controller;

use Anomaly\ProductsModule\Category\Contract\CategoryRepositoryInterface;
use Anomaly\Streams\Platform\Http\Controller\PublicController;

class CategoriesController extends PublicController
{

    /**
     * View products within a category.
     *
     * @param CategoryRepositoryInterface $categories
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\View\View
     */
    public function view(CategoryRepositoryInterface $categories)
    {
        $category = $categories->findByPath($this->route->getParameter('path'));

        $this->breadcrumbs->add(
            'module::breadcrumb.products',
            $url->route('anomaly.module.products::products.index')
        );

        $this->breadcrumbs->add($category->getName(), $this->url->make('anomaly.module.products::category', $category));

        return $this->view->make('anomaly.module.products::categories/view');
    }
}
Displaying Breadcrumbs

The breadcrumb collection is loaded into the template super variable letting you display breadcrumbs as needed.

<ol class="breadcrumb">
    {% for key, url in template.breadcrumbs %}

        {% if loop.last %}
            <li class="active">{{ trans(key) }}</li>
        {% else %}
            <li><a href="{{ url }}">{{ trans(key) }}</a></li>
        {% endif %}

    {% endfor %}
</ol>
