Breadcrumb

Indicate the current page's location within a navigational hierarchy. Separators are automatically added in CSS through ::before and content.

Overview

<template>
  <b-breadcrumb :items="items"></b-breadcrumb>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        items: [
          {
            text: 'Admin',
            href: '#'
          },
          {
            text: 'Manage',
            href: '#'
          },
          {
            text: 'Library',
            active: true
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
</script>

<!-- b-breadcrumb.vue -->

Items are rendered using :items prop. It can be an array of objects to provide link and active state. Links can be href's for anchor tags, or to's for router-links. Breadcrumb works under the assumption that there is one active link in every set of ordered breadcrumbs, so the active state of the last element is automatically set to false.

const items = [
  {
    text: 'Home',
    href: 'https://google.com'
  },
  {
    text: 'Posts',
    to: { name: 'home' }
  },
  {
    text: 'Another Story',
    active: true
  }
]

Refer to the Router support reference page for router-link specific props.

Manually placed items

You may also manually place individual <b-breadcrumb-item> child components in the default slot of the <b-breadcrumb> component, as an alternative to using the items prop, for greater control over the content of each item:

<template>
  <b-breadcrumb>
    <b-breadcrumb-item href="#home">
      <b-icon icon="house-fill" scale="1.25" shift-v="1.25" aria-hidden="true"></b-icon>
      Home
    </b-breadcrumb-item>
    <b-breadcrumb-item href="#foo">Foo</b-breadcrumb-item>
    <b-breadcrumb-item href="#bar">Bar</b-breadcrumb-item>
    <b-breadcrumb-item active>Baz</b-breadcrumb-item>
  </b-breadcrumb>
</template>

<!-- b-breadcrumb-item.vue -->

Remember to set the active prop on the last item.

<b-breadcrumb-item> also supports the various <router-link> props such as to, etc.

Property
(Click to sort ascending)
Type
(Click to sort ascending)
Default
Description
active
BooleanfalseWhen set to `true`, places the component in the active state with active styling
active-class
String<router-link> prop: Configure the active CSS class applied when the link is active. Typically you will want to set this to class name 'active'
append
Booleanfalse<router-link> prop: Setting append prop always appends the relative path to the current path
aria-current
String'location'Sets the value of the 'aria-current' attribute (when the item is the active item). Supported string values are 'location', 'page', or 'true'
disabled
BooleanfalseWhen set to `true`, disables the component's functionality and places it in a disabled state
exact
Booleanfalse<router-link> prop: The default active class matching behavior is inclusive match. Setting this prop forces the mode to exactly match the route
exact-active-class
String<router-link> prop: Configure the active CSS class applied when the link is active with exact match. Typically you will want to set this to class name 'active'
exact-path
Booleanfalse<router-link> prop: Allows matching only using the path section of the url, effectively ignoring the query and the hash sections
exact-path-active-class
String<router-link> prop: Configure the active CSS class applied when the link is active with exact path match. Typically you will want to set this to class name 'active'
href
String<b-link> prop: Denotes the target URL of the link for standard a links
html
Use with caution
StringHTML string to render in the breadcrumb item
no-prefetch
Booleanfalse<nuxt-link> prop: To improve the responsiveness of your Nuxt.js applications, when the link will be displayed within the viewport, Nuxt.js will automatically prefetch the code splitted page. Setting `no-prefetch` will disabled this feature for the specific link
prefetch
v2.15.0+
Booleannull<nuxt-link> prop: To improve the responsiveness of your Nuxt.js applications, when the link will be displayed within the viewport, Nuxt.js will automatically prefetch the code splitted page. Setting `prefetch` to `true` or `false` will overwrite the default value of `router.prefetchLinks`
rel
Stringnull<b-link> prop: Sets the `rel` attribute on the rendered link
replace
Booleanfalse<router-link> prop: Setting the replace prop will call `router.replace()` instead of `router.push()` when clicked, so the navigation will not leave a history record
router-component-name
v2.15.0+
String<b-link> prop: BootstrapVue auto detects between `<router-link>` and `<nuxt-link>`. In cases where you want to use a 3rd party link component based on `<router-link>`, set this prop to the component name. e.g. set it to 'g-link' if you are using Gridsome (note only `<router-link>` specific props are passed to the component)
target
String'_self'<b-link> prop: Sets the `target` attribute on the rendered link
text
StringText to render in the breadcrumb item
to
Object or String<router-link> prop: Denotes the target route of the link. When clicked, the value of the to prop will be passed to `router.push()` internally, so the value can be either a string or a Location descriptor object

<b-breadcrumb-item> supports generating <router-link> or <nuxt-link> component (if using Nuxt.js). For more details on the router link (or nuxt link) specific props, see the Router support reference section.

Caution: Props that support HTML strings (*-html) can be vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks when passed raw user supplied values. You must properly sanitize the user input first!
