ng4-breadcrumbs

ng2-breadrumbs is a module for Angular 4 that generates a breadcrumb for any page of your application. It is based on the built-in Angular 4 router.

Usage

Getting started

1.Install ng2-breadcrumbs via npm:

npm install --save ng2-breadcrumbs

2.Import the BreadcrumbsModule within your app:

import {BreadcrumbsModule} from "ng2-breadcrumbs";

@NgModule({
  imports: [ 
    BreadcrumbsModule,
  ],
})

3.Add a name to your route by adding a breadcrumb property in the route's data:

export const routes: Routes = 
[
  {
    path: 'home',
    data: {
      breadcrumb: 'Home',
    },
    component: HomeComponent
  }
]

4.Put the BreadcrumbsComponent's selector within your template:

<breadcrumb></breadcrumb>

Adding dynamic routes

In case you want a dynamic breadcrumb name, you can pass it as a :breadcrumb route parameter when navigating: Route:

   //Add an extra route parameter that will contain the breadcrumb name
		{
			path: ':id/:breadcrumb',
			component: ProfileBreadcrumbDetails,
		}

Router code:

    public name = 'John Doe';
    public id = 3;
    goToDetails() {
        //This will put 'John_Doe' as a route parameter
        this._router.navigate([`/profiles`, this.id, this.name.replace(/ /g,"_")]);
		}

TODO

1. Add more use cases (using routerLinks, for example).
2. Document BreadcrumbService.

3. Add demo.
