Breadcrumbs

import "@taprootio/espalier/breadcrumbs";

<esp-breadcrumbs>

Used to display breadcrumb navigation. By default, the breadcrumbs will be separated by right-arrows, with the final item having a down-arrow after it. esp-breadcrumb instances should be placed in the default slot to build out the navigation.

Custom separators can be specified in the <esp-breadcrumb>:

<esp-breadcrumb> items to display.

Attributes

<esp-breadcrumbs> has the following attributes:

intent

intent has a default value of undefined.

The element's intent — its meaning: neutral (no pin), or success, warning, danger, info — each pinned to its fixed status family (blue for info), retunable per theme via intents. On token-emitting controls a non-neutral intent pins the filled-action pair to that family, derived over the governing zone's theme; class-styled chrome (badges, callouts, status pills) opts out of inline emission and renders its treatment from CSS classes instead. An intent never repaints the surrounding zone, which is what contexts are for. Removing the attribute restores the element's own default intent.

context

context has a default value of undefined.

A theme-defined color zone. The selected context rebinds designer-facing roles and emits a complete, contrast-enforced semantic token table on this host for descendants to inherit.

Methods

<esp-breadcrumbs> has the following methods:

traverseToClosest

Traverse up the DOM tree to find the closest element that matches the selector. This method is aware of shadow DOM boundaries and will traverse through them to find the element.
