Indicate the current page’s location within a navigational hierarchy that automatically adds separators via CSS.
Use an ordered or unordered list with linked list items to create a minimally styled breadcrumb. Use our utilities to add additional styles as desired.
<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Home</li>
</ol>
</nav>
<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Library</li>
</ol>
</nav>
<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Library</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Data</li>
</ol>
</nav>Dividers are automatically added in CSS through ::before and
content. They
can be changed by modifying a local CSS custom property --bs-breadcrumb-divider, or
through the $breadcrumb-divider Sass variable — and
$breadcrumb-divider-flipped for its RTL counterpart, if needed. We default to our Sass
variable, which is set as a fallback to the custom property. This way, you get a global divider that
you can override without recompiling CSS at any time.
<nav style="--bs-breadcrumb-divider: '>';" aria-label="breadcrumb">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Library</li>
</ol>
</nav>When modifying via Sass, the quote
function is required to generate the quotes around a string. For example, using > as the
divider, you can use this:
$breadcrumb-divider: quote(">");It’s also possible to use an embedded SVG icon. Apply it via our CSS custom property, or use the Sass variable.
<nav style="--bs-breadcrumb-divider: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='8' height='8'%3E%3Cpath d='M2.5 0L1 1.5 3.5 4 1 6.5 2.5 8l4-4-4-4z' fill='currentColor'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");" aria-label="breadcrumb">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Library</li>
</ol>
</nav>$breadcrumb-divider: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='8' height='8'%3E%3Cpath d='M2.5 0L1 1.5 3.5 4 1 6.5 2.5 8l4-4-4-4z' fill='currentColor'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");You can also remove the divider setting --bs-breadcrumb-divider: ''; (empty strings in CSS
custom properties counts as a value), or setting the Sass variable to $breadcrumb-divider:
none;.
<nav style="--bs-breadcrumb-divider: '';" aria-label="breadcrumb">
<ol class="breadcrumb">
<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="breadcrumb-item active" aria-current="page">Library</li>
</ol>
</nav>$breadcrumb-divider: none;
