Breadcrumb

A hierarchy of links to navigate through a website.

Usage

Items

Use the items prop as an array of objects with the following properties:

  • label?: string
  • icon?: string
  • avatar?: AvatarProps
  • class?: any
  • slot?: string

You can also pass any property from the Link component such as to, target, etc.

<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref([
  {
    label: 'Home',
    icon: 'i-lucide-house'
  },
  {
    label: 'Components',
    icon: 'i-lucide-box',
    to: '/components'
  },
  {
    label: 'Breadcrumb',
    icon: 'i-lucide-link',
    to: '/components/breadcrumb'
  }
])
</script>

<template>
  <UBreadcrumb :items="items" />
</template>
A span is rendered instead of a link when the to property is not defined.

Separator Icon

Use the separator-icon prop to customize the Icon between each item. Defaults to i-lucide-chevron-right.

<script setup lang="ts">
const items = ref([
  {
    label: 'Home',
    icon: 'i-lucide-house'
  },
  {
    label: 'Components',
    icon: 'i-lucide-box',
    to: '/components'
  },
  {
    label: 'Breadcrumb',
    icon: 'i-lucide-link',
    to: '/components/breadcrumb'
  }
])
</script>

<template>
  <UBreadcrumb separator-icon="i-lucide-arrow-right" :items="items" />
</template>
You can customize this icon globally in your app.config.ts under ui.icons.chevronRight key.
You can customize this icon globally in your vite.config.ts under ui.icons.chevronRight key.

Examples

With separator slot

Use the #separator slot to customize the separator between each item.

<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [{
  label: 'Home',
  to: '/'
}, {
  label: 'Components',
  to: '/components'
}, {
  label: 'Breadcrumb',
  to: '/components/breadcrumb'
}]
</script>

<template>
  <UBreadcrumb :items="items">
    <template #separator>
      <span class="mx-2 text-[var(--ui-text-muted)]">/</span>
    </template>
  </UBreadcrumb>
</template>

With custom slot

Use the slot property to customize a specific item.

You will have access to the following slots:

  • #{{ item.slot }}
  • #{{ item.slot }}-leading
  • #{{ item.slot }}-label
  • #{{ item.slot }}-trailing
<script setup lang="ts">
const items = [{
  label: 'Home',
  to: '/'
}, {
  slot: 'dropdown',
  icon: 'i-lucide-ellipsis',
  children: [{
    label: 'Documentation'
  }, {
    label: 'Themes'
  }, {
    label: 'GitHub'
  }]
}, {
  label: 'Components',
  to: '/components'
}, {
  label: 'Breadcrumb',
  to: '/components/breadcrumb'
}]
</script>

<template>
  <UBreadcrumb :items="items">
    <template #dropdown="{ item }">
      <UDropdownMenu :items="item.children">
        <UButton :icon="item.icon" color="neutral" variant="link" class="p-0.5" />
      </UDropdownMenu>
    </template>
  </UBreadcrumb>
</template>
You can also use the #item, #item-leading, #item-label and #item-trailing slots to customize all items.
