DH Breadcrumbs plugin

Installation

npm install --save @nst0tsky-dev/vue2-dynamic-breadcrumbs

Usage

Use the meta.breadcrumb: property of a route or child route, e.g.: breadcrumb property can be:

• as a string for render as plain text
• vue template for custom markup

Also, breadcrumb has dynamic parent support, that will search by route name and insert before breadcrumb iterator. For example, we have a case when we cant insert route as a child of one => we can directly set a parent of the route for correct render of a breadcrumbs hierarchy.

...
meta: {
  breadcrumb: "Account dashboard"
}


{
    path: "/:accountId",
    component: AccountDetails,
    children: [
      {
        name: "accountHome",
        path: "",
        component: AccountDashboard,
        meta: {
          breadcrumb: {
            template: () => import("@/components/dh-breadcrumbs/accountTemplate"),
            parent: "accounts"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    path: "/:isBuy?",
    name: "accounts",
    component: Accounts,
    meta: {
      breadcrumb: {
        template: () => import("@/components/dh-breadcrumbs/accountListTemplate")
      }
    }
  }

Get breadcrumbs

After import plugin, we will have access to breadcrumbs structure with render hierarchy via property $breadcrumb

  computed: {
    breadcrumbs() {
      const { $breadcrumbs } = this;

      return $breadcrumbs;
    },
  },

Breadcrumb context

Every breadcrumb has a unique context(which you can use in render template) relative to his root-view-page (not absolute root) e.g:

• we entered to route by path /:accountId/audience/:profileId/campaigns and has 4 route matches like:
  • /:accountId
  • /:accountId/audience
  • /:accountId/audience/:profileId
  • /:accountId/audience/:profileId/campaigns So context key will be /:accountId/audience

We can bind context on every vue component via call method bindContext of instance $breadcrumbManager (that will be bind in page-context and will be available in all hierarchy of breadcrumbs hierarchy) eg:

  watch: {
    contactProfile: {
      immediate: true,
      handler(newState) {
        if (!newState) return;

        this.$breadcrumbsManager.bindContext("fullName", newState.profile.fullName);
      },
    }
  },

and using it after previous step inside breadcrumb template as:

<template>
  <div class="dh-breadcrumbs__item dh-breadcrumbs-account-list">
    <router-link
      :to="{ name: breadcrumb.name, params: breadcrumb.params, query: breadcrumb.query }"
    >{{ subscriberName }}</router-link>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
  props: ["breadcrumb"],
  computed: {
    subscriberName() {
      const { context } = this.breadcrumb;

      return context.fullName;
    }
  }
};
</script>
