uses
  sgcHTML_Component_Breadcrumb;

var
  oBreadcrumb: TsgcHTMLComponent_Breadcrumb;
begin
  oBreadcrumb := TsgcHTMLComponent_Breadcrumb.Create(nil);
  try
    oBreadcrumb.Divider := '>';

    with oBreadcrumb.Items.Add do begin Text := 'Home'; Href := '/'; end;
    with oBreadcrumb.Items.Add do begin Text := 'Products'; Href := '/products'; end;
    with oBreadcrumb.Items.Add do begin Text := 'sgcHTML'; Active := True; end;

    WebModule.Response := oBreadcrumb.HTML;   // <ol class="breadcrumb">
  finally
    oBreadcrumb.Free;
  end;
end;

// includes: sgcHTML_Component_Breadcrumb.hpp

TsgcHTMLComponent_Breadcrumb *oBreadcrumb = new TsgcHTMLComponent_Breadcrumb(NULL);
try
{
  oBreadcrumb->Divider = ">";

  TsgcHTMLBreadcrumbItem *oItem = oBreadcrumb->Items->Add();
  oItem->Text = "Home"; oItem->Href = "/";
  oItem = oBreadcrumb->Items->Add(); oItem->Text = "Products"; oItem->Href = "/products";
  oItem = oBreadcrumb->Items->Add(); oItem->Text = "sgcHTML"; oItem->Active = true;

  String html = oBreadcrumb->HTML;   // <ol class="breadcrumb">
}
__finally
{
  delete oBreadcrumb;
}

using esegece.sgcWebSockets;

var breadcrumb = new TsgcHTMLComponent_Breadcrumb();
breadcrumb.Divider = ">";

var item = breadcrumb.Items.Add();
item.Text = "Home"; item.Href = "/";
item = breadcrumb.Items.Add(); item.Text = "Products"; item.Href = "/products";
item = breadcrumb.Items.Add(); item.Text = "sgcHTML"; item.Active = true;

string html = breadcrumb.HTML;   // <ol class="breadcrumb">

Reference

Key properties & methods

The members you reach for most often.

Items

Items.Add returns a TsgcHTMLBreadcrumbItem; set its Text and Href for each trail segment, in order.

Current page

The last item, or any item flagged Active, renders as plain text with aria-current="page" instead of a link.

Divider

Divider overrides the separator between items (for example '>' or '/') via the Bootstrap --bs-breadcrumb-divider variable.

Identity

BreadcrumbID sets the id on the wrapping <nav> for styling or scripting hooks.

Output

HTML returns the full <nav aria-label="breadcrumb"> with its ordered list — serve it, or assign it to a page template's BodyContent.
