Tailwind CSS Breadcrumb

Class Name	Type	Description
breadcrumbs	Component	Base class for breadcrumb component.
breadcrumbs-separator	Component	Used to separate icons or text within breadcrumbs.

Utilize the component class breadcrumbs to generate a breadcrumb component. By integrating a chevron icon within the breadcrumbs-separator component class, you can create breadcrumbs with chevrons as separators.

<div class="breadcrumbs">
  <ul>
    <li>
      <a href="javascript:void(0);">Home</a>
    </li>
    <span class="breadcrumbs-separator rtl:rotate-180"><span class="icon-[tabler--chevron-right]"></span></span>
    <li>
      <a href="javascript:void(0);">Components</a>
    </li>
    <span class="breadcrumbs-separator rtl:rotate-180"><span class="icon-[tabler--chevron-right]"></span></span>
    <li aria-current="page">Breadcrumb</li>
  </ul>
</div>

With max-width

Apply the responsive utility class max-w-xs to the breadcrumb, enabling a fixed width that allows horizontal scrolling while occupying less space.

<div class="breadcrumbs h-fit max-w-xs">
  <ul>
    <li>
      <a href="javascript:void(0);"> <span class="icon-[tabler--folder] size-5"></span>Home</a>
    </li>
    <span class="breadcrumbs-separator rtl:-rotate-[40deg]">/</span>
    <li>
      <a href="javascript:void(0);"> <span class="icon-[tabler--folder] size-5"></span>App</a>
    </li>
    <span class="breadcrumbs-separator rtl:-rotate-[40deg]">/</span>
    <li>
      <a href="javascript:void(0);"> <span class="icon-[tabler--folder] size-5"></span>Components</a>
    </li>
    <span class="breadcrumbs-separator rtl:-rotate-[40deg]">/</span>
    <li>
      <a href="javascript:void(0);"> <span class="icon-[tabler--folder] size-5"></span>Navigation</a>
    </li>
    <span class="breadcrumbs-separator rtl:-rotate-[40deg]">/</span>
