Breadcrumb

Create breadcrumbs to show users their location within a website.

Usage

The Breadcrumb component consists of links, which are aligned side by side and separated by a divider. Add the .uk-breadcrumb class to a <ul> element to define the component. Use <a> elements as breadcrumb items within the list. An active state is automatically applied to the last <li> element.

To add list items without a link, use a <span> element instead of an <a>. Alternatively, disable an <a> element by adding the .uk-disabled class to the <li> element and remove the href attribute from the anchor to make it inaccessible through keyboard navigation.

<ul class="uk-breadcrumb">
    <li><a href=""></a></li>
    <li><a href=""></a></li>
    <li><span></span></li>
</ul>

<nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">
    <ul class="uk-breadcrumb">
        <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Linked Category</a></li>
        <li class="uk-disabled"><a>Disabled Category</a></li>
        <li><span aria-current="page">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</span></li>
    </ul>
</nav>

Accessibility

In order for the Breadcrumb component to adhere to the Breadcrumb design pattern, set the appropriate WAI-ARIA roles, states and properties.

• Contain the breadcrumb list within a nav element and set the aria-label property to describe the type of the provided navigation.
• If the last item is the current page set the aria-current="page" property.

<nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">
    <ul class="uk-breadcrumb">…</ul>
</nav>
