Breadcrumb for Codeigniter

Lightweight Codeigniter library for generating HTML breadcrumb

Usage

A library that is very easy to understand and use was one of our major considerations while writing this library. In that sense, using this simple library has no pain to face ranging from adding and update of config file, to loading of the library and usage.
Follow the steps below to setup this library in your project:

• Copy the breadcrumb.php file in the config folder and paste in application/config folder in your project
• Copy and paste the Breadcrumb.php file in the libraries folder to the application/libraries folder of your project
• Load the library into your project by adding the piece of code below to the controller set for it

    $this->load->library('breadcrumb');

Codeigniter allows you to autoload libraries, configs etc, so you can also autoload this library by adding breadcrumb to your libraries array in the config/autoload.php file of your project

• To generate breadcrumb, call the add() method to add crumb and the show() method to output the breadcrumb as shown below

    $this->breadcrumb->add('Home', '/');
    $this->breadcrumb->add('Pages', '/pages');
    $this->breadcrumb->add('About', '/pages/about');
    $this->breadcrumb->show();

The about code will generate the html code below

    <div class="breadcrumb">
        <a href="/">Home</a>&nbsp;&#62;&nbsp;
        <a href="/pages">Pages</a>&nbsp;&#62;&nbsp;
        <a href="/pages/about">About</a>
    </div>

Output
Home > Pages > About

You can also configure the library via the breadcrumb.php file in the application/config folder. This file allows you to set crumb divider, crumb opening and closing tag, breadcrumb opening and closing tag and crumb for your index page which is usually the homepage
