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 quotefunction 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;
