Overview
When to use
Use the breadcrumbs component when you need to help users understand and move between the multiple levels of a website.
When not to use
Do not use the breadcrumbs component on websites with a flat structure, or to show progress through a linear journey or transaction.
If you’re using other navigational elements on the page, such as a sidebar, consider whether your users need the additional support of breadcrumbs.
Principles
Breadcrumbs are placed in the top left portion of the page. They sit underneath the header and navigation, but above the page title.
The breadcrumbs should start with your ‘home’ page and end with the parent section of the current page.
On mobile devices breadcrumbs may be configured to only show the first and last items.
To do this, add a tds-breadcrumbs--collapse-on-mobile class to the outer <div> element of the component source.
