<strong>Laravel</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>its</strong> <strong>Lightweight</strong> <strong>Breadcrumbs</strong><br />

<strong>Laravel</strong> comes with their <strong>Lightweight</strong> <strong>Breadcrumbs</strong>. Here, questions arise why <strong>Breadcrumbs</strong> are<br />

used? <strong>Breadcrumbs</strong> are important in web applications. There are most of the time, it’s not<br />

easiest to track the different levels in your URL <strong>and</strong> generate breadcrumbs from it. Now here<br />

give the simple yet elegant solution. Also, you can connect with the ​<strong>Laravel</strong> Development<br />

The first concept of implement breadcrumbs is to help the users locating themselves. We<br />

required a package, bumped excellent idea, request URL segments <strong>and</strong> generated the<br />

breadcrumbs based on that. Decide to generate an array where the keys are the segments of<br />

the URL, <strong>and</strong> the values are the URLs of the keys.<br />

Let’s see an example:


Route: blog/category/seo<br />

[<br />

'blog' => 'blog',<br />

'category' => 'blog/category',<br />

'seo' => 'blog/category/seo',<br />

]<br />

View Composer<br />

First when we don’t need the breadcrumbs in every view, at that time use view composer. The<br />

reason behind to use composer that can control in which views we share the data <strong>and</strong> which<br />

we don’t.<br />

When use breadcrumbs only thing we should not forget, to bind the composer the views we<br />

need. We can do it in service provider’s boot() method. visit here:​Major Advantages:<br />

<strong>Laravel</strong> over other PHP Frameworks (Updated 2017)<br />

// Push the breadcrumbs to the view<br />

View::composer('blog.*', BreadcrumbComposer::class);<br />

The <strong>Breadcrumbs</strong> Rendering<br />

Let’s take a look at the blade template:<br />

<br />

<br />

Home<br />

@foreach ($breadcrumbs as $key => $url)<br />

<br />

<br />

@if (! $loop->last)<br />

{{ ucfirst($key) }}


@else<br />

@yield ('title')<br />

@endif<br />

<br />

<br />

@endforeach<br />

<br />

<br />

When we start using foreach loop, we have the $loop variable. It gives more flexibility. Take<br />

example when you have a breadcrumbs.php file for storing the formatted/translated version of<br />

the segments. So with this case you can do the following:<br />

// for example: breadcrumbs.blog, breadcrumbs.category...<br />

trans('breadcrumbs.'.$key);<br />

Conclusion<br />

This Type of <strong>Laravel</strong> approach can be beneficial for those, who need the straightforward yet<br />

flexible solution. ​<strong>Laravel</strong> development services follow this type of complex URL structure. In<br />

general, it should be enough. Flexible, translatable <strong>and</strong> easily customizable with CSS.Visit<br />
