## Examples

### Sizes

Use the `size` prop to change the size of the breadcrumb component

<ExampleTabs name="breadcrumb-with-sizes" />

### Variants

Use the `variant` prop to change the appearance of the breadcrumb component

<ExampleTabs name="breadcrumb-with-variants" />

### With Separator

Use the `Breadcrumb.Separator` component to add a custom separator

<ExampleTabs name="breadcrumb-with-separator" />

### Icon

Add a custom icon to the breadcrumb by rendering it within `Breadcrumb.Link`

<ExampleTabs name="breadcrumb-with-icon" />

### Menu

Wrap the `Breadcrumb.Link` inside the `MenuTrigger` to ensure it works correctly
within the menu component

<ExampleTabs name="breadcrumb-with-menu" />

### Ellipsis

Render the `Breadcrumb.Ellipsis` component to show an ellipsis after a
breadcrumb item

<ExampleTabs name="breadcrumb-with-ellipsis" />

### Routing Library

Use the `asChild` prop to change the underlying breadcrumb link

```tsx
import { Breadcrumb } from "@chakra-ui/react"
import { Link } from "next/link"

export const Example = () => {
  return (
    <Breadcrumb.Root>
      <Breadcrumb.List>
        <Breadcrumb.Item>
          <Breadcrumb.Link asChild>
            <Link href="/docs">Docs</Link>
          </Breadcrumb.Link>
        </Breadcrumb.Item>
        <Breadcrumb.Separator />
      </Breadcrumb.List>
    </Breadcrumb.Root>
  )
}
```

### Closed Component

Here's how to setup the Breadcrumb for a closed component composition.

<ExampleCode name="breadcrumb-closed-component" />

If you want to automatically add the closed component to your project, run the
command:

```bash
npx @chakra-ui/cli snippet add breadcrumb
```

## Props

### Root

<PropTable component="Breadcrumb" part="Root" />
