Breadcrumbs allow users to make selections from a range of values. Material UI for React has this component available for us, and it is very easy to integrate. We can use Breadcrumbs Component in ReactJS using the following approach.
Creating React Application And Installing Module:
Step 1: Create a React application using the following command.
npx create-react-app foldername
Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command.
cd foldername
Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the material-ui modules using the following command.
npm install @mui/material
Project Structure: It will look like the following.
Project Structure
Example 1: In this example, we will create a simple breadcrumb application of different links. Please update App.js like below.
Filename: App.js
Javascript
import { Breadcrumbs, Link, Typography } from "@mui/material";import React from "react";const App = () => { return ( <div style={{ margin: "auto", display: "table", }} > <h4>How to use Breadcrumbs in ReactJS?</h4> <Breadcrumbs aria-label="breadcrumb"> <Link color="inherit" href="/" onClick={(event) => { event.preventDefault(); alert("Home Page Clicked"); }} > Home Page </Link> <Link color="inherit" href="/getting-started/installation/" onClick={(event) => { event.preventDefault(); alert("Dashboard Clicked"); }} > Dashboard </Link> <Typography color="textPrimary"> Breadcrumb </Typography> </Breadcrumbs> </div> );};export default App; |
Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:
npm start
Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output.
Example 2: In this example, we will create a collapsed breadcrumb application of different links with the help of maxItems props of the Breadcrumbs component. Please update App.js like the below.
Filename: App.js
Javascript
import { Breadcrumbs, Link, Typography } from "@mui/material";import React from "react";const App = () => { return ( <div style={{ margin: "auto", display: "table", }} > <h4>How to use Breadcrumbs in ReactJS?</h4> <Breadcrumbs aria-label="breadcrumb" maxItems={2}> <Link color="inherit" > Home Page </Link> <Link color="inherit" > Dashboard </Link> <Link color="inherit" > About </Link> <Link color="inherit" > Careers </Link> <Link color="inherit" > Contact </Link> <Typography color="textPrimary"> Breadcrumb </Typography> </Breadcrumbs> </div> );};export default App; |
Steps to run the application:
