Download the PHP package mhujer/breadcrumbs-bundle without Composer

This is a fork of whiteoctober/BreadcrumbsBundle maintained for newer Symfony versions. See whiteoctober/BreadcrumbsBundle#106.

Installation

1. Install this bundle using Composer:

If you're using Symfony Flex, the following steps will be done automatically.

2. Enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the config/bundles.php file of your project:

3. Configure the bundle in config/packages/white_october_breadcrumbs.yaml:

That's it for basic configuration. For more options check the Configuration section.

Usage

In your application controller methods:

It is preferable, that you don't retrieve the service via get. Use dependency injection instead:

Then, in your template:

The last item in the breadcrumbs collection will automatically be rendered as plain text rather than a <a>...</a> tag.

The addItem() method adds an item to the end of the breadcrumbs collection. You can use the prependItem() method to add an item to the beginning of the breadcrumbs collection. This is handy when used in conjunction with hierarchical data (e.g. Doctrine Nested-Set). This example uses categories in a product catalog:

If you do not want to generate a URL manually, you can easily add breadcrumb items passing only the route name with any required parameters, using the addRouteItem() and prependRouteItem() methods:

Configuration

The following default parameters can be overridden in your config/packages/white_october_breadcrumbs.yaml:

These can also be passed as parameters in the view when rendering the breadcrumbs - for example:

NOTE: If you need more than one set of breadcrumbs on the same page you can use namespaces. By default, breadcrumbs use the default namespace, but you can add more. To add breadcrumbs to your custom namespace use addNamespaceItem / prependNamespaceItem or addNamespaceRouteItem / prependNamespaceRouteItem methods respectively, for example:

Then to render the subsection breadcrumbs in your templates, specify this namespace in the options:

Advanced Usage

You can add a whole array of objects at once

Example:

You can also add a tree path

NOTE: You can use addNamespaceObjectArray and addNamespaceObjectTree respectively for work with multiple breadcrumbs on the same page.

Overriding the template

There are two methods for doing this.

1. You can override the template used by copying the Resources/views/microdata.html.twig file out of the bundle and placing it into <your-project>/templates/bundles/WhiteOctoberBreadcrumbsBundle, then customising as you see fit. Check the Overriding bundle templates documentation section for more information.

2. Use the viewTemplate configuration parameter:

NOTE: If you want to use the JSON-LD format, there's already an existing template at @WhiteOctoberBreadcrumbs/json-ld.html.twig. Just set this template as the value for viewTemplate either in your Twig function call (see Step 2 above) or in your bundle configuration.
