Breadcrumb

Indicate the current page’s location within a navigational hierarchy that automatically adds separators via CSS.

Examples

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>

Examples dark

Use the .breadcrumb-dark class to quickly change dark breadcrumb

<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
  <ol class="breadcrumb breadcrumb-dark">
    <li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  </ol>
</nav>
<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
  <ol class="breadcrumb breadcrumb-dark">
    <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 breadcrumb-dark">
    <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

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>

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 dots

Add .breadcrumb-dots to enable dot separator style for a breadcrumb.

<nav aria-label="breadcrumb">
	<ol class="breadcrumb breadcrumb-dots">
		<li class="breadcrumb-item"><a href="#"><i class="bi bi-house me-1"></i> Home</a></li>
		<li class="breadcrumb-item active">Library</li>
	</ol>
</nav>
