Simplified Breadcrumbs

A nice way to add breadcrumbs to your application. Antonio Cangiano posted a link in the Ruby on Rails weblog to a post which talked about adding breadcrumbs to your Rails application. I’ve been doing this with helpers, but as the post says this is “Easy and flexible”. So I’ve created the plugin.

Changes

Changed breadcrumb method to accept 3 options: :wrap_with_tag, :class and :separator.

  • :wrap_with_tag - An HTML tag to wrap each breadcrumb entry with (ie. li, p, etc.).

  • :class - An HTML class to give to the tag specified in the :wrap_with_tag option.

  • :separator - Acts the same as the old breadcrumb method worked.

Example

##
# app/controllers/application.rb
#
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  add_breadcrumb 'Home', :root_path

end

##
# app/controllers/things_controller.rb
#
class ThingsController < ApplicationController

  add_breadcrumb 'Things', :things_path
  add_breadcrumb 'Create a new thing', '', :only => [:new, :create]
  add_breadcrumb 'Edit a thing', '', :only => [:edit, :update]

  def show
    @thing = Thing.find(params[:id])
    add_breadcrumb @thing.name, thing_path(@thing)
  end

end

##
# app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
#
<%= breadcrumb %>
<%= breadcrumb(:separator => '=>') %>
<%= breadcrumb(:wrap_with_tag => 'li') %>
