No package dependency beyond React. Shared Gummy material is resolved automatically.

Behavior contract

Semantics before surface

Semantics

A labelled nav containing an ordered list and aria-current page.

Keyboard

Native link behavior.

System support

Light and dark themes, logical RTL layout, reduced motion, responsive content, and forwarded public refs.

Source-derived reference

Anatomy and public API

Exported anatomy

These public React parts are read directly from the canonical source during the documentation build.

Prop contracts

Composes React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement> & { label?: string; }

Troubleshooting

Check behavior before surface.

If the material is missing, confirm the registry-installed shared and component CSS files are imported once.
If interaction differs, preserve this contract: Native link behavior.
If assistive output differs, preserve this semantic foundation: A labelled nav containing an ordered list and aria-current page.
If dark, RTL, or reduced-motion behavior is missing, verify the nearest theme, direction, and media-query boundaries rather than adding page-local overrides.

Implementation decisions

When to use Breadcrumb

Use breadcrumbs for a real hierarchy, not as a duplicate of browser history or the primary navigation. Each ancestor should link to its canonical level, while the current page remains clearly identified without a misleading link. Shorten presentation only when the full hierarchy is still available to assistive technology. Test deep paths, long translated labels, narrow screens, keyboard focus, and structured metadata against the visible trail.
