Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs help you indicate the current page’s location within a navigational hierarchy.
Example
<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>
Accessibility
Since breadcrumbs provide a navigation, it’s a good idea to add a meaningful label such as aria-label="breadcrumb"
to describe the type of navigation provided in the <nav>
element, as well as applying an aria-current="page"
to the last item of the set to indicate that it represents the current page.
