How to implement breadcrumb in Angular 7

Question

I am trying to implement breadcrumbs in Angular 7 based Application.

HTML Template for root component containing breadcrumb component is mentioned below (breadcrumb is outside router outlet)

<app-layout>
 <div>
  <app-breadcrumb></app-breadcrumb>
  <router-outlet></router-outlet>
 </div>
</app-layout>

Breadcrumb component ts file

ngOnInit() {
 this.router.events.pipe(filter(event => event instanceof NavigationEnd)).subscribe((router) => {
  let snapshot = this.router.routerState.snapshot;
  this.breadcrumbs = [];
  let url = snapshot.url;
  let routeData: Data = snapshot.root.data;
  let label = routeData['breadcrumb'];
  let params = snapshot.root.params;
  this.breadcrumbs.push({
    url: url,
    label: label,
    params: params
  });
});

Breadcrumb component html file

<nav aria-label='breadcrumb'>
  <ol class='breadcrumb'>
    <li *ngFor='let breadcrumb of breadcrumbs'>
      <a [routerLink]='[breadcrumb.url, breadcrumb.params]' routerLinkActive='active'>{{ breadcrumb.label }}</a>
    </li>
  </ol>
</nav>

Route definition is as follows

const routes: Routes = [
 { path: 'folders', component: FolderManagementComponent, data: { breadcrumb: 'Home' } },
 { path: 'folders/list-documents', component: ListDocumentsComponent, data: { breadcrumb: 'Documents' } },
 { path: '', redirectTo: '/folders', pathMatch: 'full', data: { breadcrumb: 'Home' }}
];

But I am not getting data and params

I am late here, but did you have a look at xng-breadcrumbs. It provides an easy to use solution for Breacrumbs in Angular. You can check https://www.npmjs.com/package/xng-breadcrumb A demo Angular app showcasing breadcrumbs usage in Angular - https://xng-breadcrumb.netlify.com — Uday Vunnam, Sep 29 '19 at 15:17

Update the router subscribe logic in Breadcrumb component ts file with below code.

  ngOnInit() {

    this.router.events
      .pipe(filter(event => event instanceof NavigationEnd))
      .pipe(map(() => this.activatedRoute))
      .pipe(map((route) => {
        while (route.firstChild) { route = route.firstChild; }
        return route;
      }))
      .pipe(filter(route => route.outlet === PRIMARY_OUTLET))
      .subscribe(route => {

        let snapshot = this.router.routerState.snapshot;
        this.breadcrumbs = [];
        let url = snapshot.url;
        let routeData = route.snapshot.data;

        console.log(routeData);
        let label = routeData['breadcrumb'];
        let params = snapshot.root.params;

        this.breadcrumbs.push({
          url: url,
          label: label,
          params: params
        });

      });

}

Recently I have implemented ng-dynamic-breadcrumb, ng7-dynamic-breadcrumb, ng7-bootstrap-breadcrumb and ng7-mat-breadcrumb Angular breadcrumb Modules. Please check the these modules, I hope this will help for dynamic breadcrumbs.

i checked your modules and they are awesome. But to be honest i prefer the ng7-bootstrap-breadcrumb because the generated html seems to be the more close of what a breadcrumb should be. It generates a

@CelsoSoares Thank you !. Happy Coding :) (y) – Raja Rama Mohan Thavalam Apr 18 '19 at 13:27
BTW. On ng7-bootstrap-breadcrumb, is possible to add specific classes to each link? For example, besides label and url params do you have something like classes? – Celso Soares May 08 '19 at 14:55
@CelsoSoares Currently we haven't provided that kind of feature If possible create a ticket a future reference URL: https://github.com/rajaramtt/ng7-dynamic-breadcrumb/issues – Raja Rama Mohan Thavalam May 08 '19 at 18:18

@RajaRamaMohanThavalam you should use only one pipe and any side effects should be done in tap not subscribe. pls consult rxjs docs – Mike Jan 05 '21 at 14:39
