What is breadcrumb in UI?
Breadcrumbs are a list of links representing the current page and its “ancestors” (parent page, grandparent page, and so on), typically going all the way back to the site homepage. NN/g has been recommending breadcrumbs since 1995, as they provide many benefits to users at almost no cost to the UI.
What is breadcrumbs component?
The Breadcrumb Component displays the position of the current page within the site hierarchy, allowing page visitors to navigate the page hierarchy from their current location. This is often integrated into page headers or footers.
Why do we call it breadcrumbs diving into the history of UI components?
On the web, it works the same way: breadcrumbs visualize the path or the users' journey from the perspective of the website hierarchy. That's why they are also called a breadcrumb trail.
Why is it called breadcrumb navigation?
The term is borrowed from the tale of Hansel and Gretel where the kids drop a trail of breadcrumbs to trace their way back. With breadcrumbs, if you've reached a page you don't want to be on, you can easily find your way back or go back a step or two and start over.
