Front-end Breadcrumb Navigation¶

All frontend routes include breadcrumb navigation in the top of the page to ease the navigation for your customers across your e-commerce site. When adding a new page on the frontend, you need to implement new BreadcrumbGenerator for the new routes to tell the application how the navigation should be displayed.

How to create new BreadcrumbGenerator¶

• create new class with name ending with BreadcrumbGenerator
• this class has to implement BreadcrumbGeneratorInterface
• this interface requires you to implement two methods (see ArticleBreadcrumbGenerator class as an example of the implementation):
  • getBreadcrumbItems method that generates BreadcrumbItems
    • these include displayed name, and may include route and route parameters if you want to make a link from the item
  • getRouteNames method where you have to provide names of the routes for which you want to use your breadcrumb generator
• visit some URL matching your route and check if everything works fine
