middleman-breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs helper for Middleman

Install the gem as usual: put gem 'middleman-breadcrumbs' in Gemfile, then run bundle install.

Put activate :breadcrumbs in config.rb (not in the configure :build block).

This gem has two configuration options, which are set in the usual way for Middleman extensions.

:separator

String that separates the breadcrumb levels. Default is  > .

:wrapper

Tag name (as a symbol) in which to wrap each breadcrumb level. Default is nil, which means no wrapping.

For example, if you wanted to wrap the breadcrumb levels in <li> elements and separate them with bullets, you would put the following in config.rb:

activate :breadcrumbs, separator: ' • ', wrapper: :li

In your view files, just call breadcrumbs(current_page) to display breadcrumbs. By default, this will use the separator and wrapper defined in the config.rb file.

If you want to override the separator or wrapper defined in the config.rb file, pass the appropriate options to the breadcrumbs method:

<%= breadcrumbs(current_page, separator: ' ||| ', wrapper: :div) %>
