Is it possible to access breadCrumbs data in my own client module?

[krillboi]

I would like to access the breadcrumbs data in my analytics module.

Is this possible at the moment?

Hi, the breadcrumbs data is generated from the current sidebar structure, and the sidebars are available as global data. You can use import globalData from "@generated/globalData" and filter out the data that you need.

Great, thanks

Not 100% correct, global data does not contain sidebar tree (can be seen here: https://docusaurus.io/__docusaurus/debug/globalData)

These hooks can work for you but they are not part of the public API surface so we might refactor them:

import {useDocsSidebar,  useSidebarBreadcrumbs} from '@docusaurus/theme-common';

Note that they can only be called on docs-related page, not on client modules, because sidebars data is not available globally

It is technically possible to make docs sidebar data available globally (in all pages, client modules...) but this has a performance cost and is a bit more complex, see #4138
