Getting Started With BreadcrumbTrailBundle

This bundle provides a breacrumb trail service also known as breadcrumbs or Fil d'Ariane.

Breadcrumbs can be define with annotations or PHP.

Compatibility: Symfony 2.0+

Installation

Please follow the steps given here to install this bundle.

Usage

Render a breadcrumb trail in a template

{{ apy_breadcrumb_trail_render() }}

Add breadcumbs to the trail with annotations or PHP in your controller.

...
use APY\BreadcrumbTrailBundle\Annotation\Breadcrumb;

/**
 * @Breadcrumb("Home")
 * @Breadcrumb("Level 1", route="level_1")
 * @Breadcrumb("Level 2", route="level_2")
 */
class MyController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Breadcrumb("Level 3a", route="level_3a")
     * @Breadcrumb("Level 4a", route="level_4a")
     */
    public function aAction()
    {
        ...
    }

    /**
     * @Breadcrumb("Level 3b")
     * @Breadcrumb("Level 4b", route={"name"="level_4b", "parameters"={"var1"=1,"var2"=2}})
     */
    public function bAction()
    {
        $this->get("apy_breadcrumb_trail")
            ->add('Level 5b', 'level_5b', array('var3'=>3))
            ->add('Level 6b', 'level_6b');
        ...
    }
}

Will turn into:

<ul id="breadcrumbtrail">
    <li class="home">Home</li>
    <li><a href="/level_1">Level 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="/level_2">Level 2</a></li>
    <li>Level 3b</li>
    <li><a href="/level_4b/1/2">Level 4b</a></li>
    <li><a href="/level_5b/3">Level 5b</a></li>
    <li class="current">Level 6b</li>
</ul>

Notes:

• No link is displayed if no route is defined for the breadcrumb or if it's the last breadcrumb of the trail.
• The first breadcrumb will have the home class and the last breadcrumb will have the current class.

---

These expressions generate the same breadcrumb.

@Breadcrumb("Level 4b", route={"name"="level_4b", "parameters"={"var1"=1,"var2"=2}, "absolute"=true})
@Breadcrumb("Level 4b", routeName="level_4b", routeParameters={"var1"=1,"var2"=2}, routeAbsolute=true)

And these too.

@Breadcrumb("Level 4b", route="level_4b")
@Breadcrumb("Level 4b", route={"name"="level_4b"})
@Breadcrumb("Level 4b", routeName="level_4b")
