Basic usage
Breadcrumbs
is a navigation component that is designed to be used with Link
and Typography
.
You can add an icon as a decorator to the Link
and mix it with the color
prop.
Accessibility
(WAI-ARIA: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/breadcrumb/)
Be sure to add a aria-label
description on the Breadcrumbs
component.
The accessibility of this component relies on:
- The set of links is structured using an ordered list (
<ol>
element). - To prevent screen reader announcement of the visual separators between links, they are hidden with
aria-hidden
. - A nav element labeled with
aria-label
identifies the structure as a breadcrumb trail and makes it a navigation landmark so that it is easy to locate. - The link to the current page has
aria-current
set to page.
CSS Variables
Play around with one of the CSS variables available in the breadcrumbs component to see how the design changes.
