Breadcrumb

class Atk4\Ui\Breadcrumb

Implement navigational Breadcrumb, by using https://fomantic-ui.com/collections/breadcrumb.html

Basic Usage

Atk4\Ui\Breadcrumb::addCrumb()

Atk4\Ui\Breadcrumb::set()

Here is a simple usage:

$crumb = Breadcrumb::addTo($app);
$crumb->addCrumb('User', ['user']);
$crumb->addCrumb('Preferences', ['user_preferences']);
$crumb->set('Change Password');

Every time you call addCrumb a new one is added. With set() you can specify the name of the current page. addCrumb also requires a URL passed as second argument which can be either a string or array (which would then be passed to url() (View::url).

Changing Divider

property Atk4\Ui\Breadcrumb::$dividerClass

By default value right angle icon is used, but you can change it to right chevron icon or simply set to empty string “” to use slash.

Working with Path

property Atk4\Ui\Breadcrumb::$path

Calling addCrumb adds more elements into the $path property. Each element there would contain 3 hash values:

• section - name that will appear to the user
• link - where to go if clicked
• divider - which divider to use after the crumb

By default divider is set to Breadcrumb::dividerClass. You may also manipulate $path array yourself. For example the next code will use some logic:

$crumb = Breadcrumb::addTo($app);
$crumb->addCrumb('Users', []);

$model = new User($app->db);

if ($id = $app->stickyGet('user_id')) {
    // perhaps we edit individual user?
    $model = $model->load($id);
    $crumb->addCrumb($model->get('name'), []);


    // here we can check for additional criteria and display a deeper level on the crumb


    Form::addTo($app)->setModel($model);
} else {
    // display list of users
    $table = Table::addTo($app);
    $table->setModel($model);
    $table->addDecorator(['name', [\Atk4\Ui\Table\Column\Link::class, [], ['user_id' => 'id']);
}

$crumb->popTitle();
