ng2-breadcrumb

This component generates a breadcrumb trail, as you navigate to child routes using the @angular/router. It interprets the browser URL of a navigate request,
in the same way the component router does to match a path to a specific component, to build up a hierarchy of available parent/child routes for that destination.

So given a navigation request to a url '/comp1/comp2/comp3', a breadcrumb trail with 3 levels will be generated. Each level includes all the elements from the previous
level along with the next child. Thus the above url request will result in the following 3 levels being generated: '/comp1', '/comp1/comp2', '/comp1/comp2/comp3'.

Theres a breadcrumbService that allows you to add names for each of your app's available routes. This friendly name will show up in the breadcrumb trail
for each matching level, otherwise it will show the last url fragment.

Dependencies

Optionally uses bootstrap.css (v >3.x.x) for styling of some elements (although the component is fully functional without it and there is a flag to turn off the dependency).

Install

Install the module via npm:

npm install ng8-breadcrumbs --save

Usage

Import the this module into your module using forRoot()

import {NgxBreadcrumbsModule} from 'ng8-breadcrumbs';

@NgModule({
imports: [NgxBreadcrumbsModule]
})
export class AppModule {
...
}

Alternatively you can import the this module into your module and manually provide its service

import {NgxBreadcrumbsModule, NgxBreadcrumbsService} from 'ng8-breadcrumbs';

@NgModule({
imports: [NgxBreadcrumbsModule],
providers: [NgxBreadcrumbsService]
})
export class AppModule {
...
}

Inject the BreadcrumbService into your component to map your routes

export class AppComponent {
constructor(private breadcrumbService: NgxBreadcrumbsService) {
}
}

Place the breadcrumb selector in your component's html where you added your router-outlet:

Directives

useBootstrap: boolean to apply the bootstrap breadcrumb style. Defaulted to true.

prefix: string to have a static prefix as the first breadcrumb which routes to the base root when clicked.

BreadcrumbService

Add friendly names for each of your app's routes (paths). Can also specify regular expressions to match routes and assign a friendly name.

this.breadcrumbsService.store(
[
{ label: 'user', url: ../../user, params: [] },
{ label: settings,url: ../settings, params: { tab: 'global' } },
]);
