# Breadcrumbs

<!-- preview breadcrumbs 180 -->

`ui.Breadcrumbs` creates a path of items, as Finder's path bar and AppKit's
path control, separated by chevrons: the items but the last are links,
which a click chooses, as Enter does, setting an `*int` to its index, which
`Changed` reports. Long items shorten with an ellipsis as room runs short.

```go
path := []string{"Macintosh HD", "Users", "ada", "Documents"}
if ui.Breadcrumbs(c, path, &app.chosen).Label("Path").Changed() {
	app.open(path[:app.chosen+1])
}
```

The last item is where the user is, which is no link.

## Accessibility

Assistive technology sees links in a navigation landmark, which `Label`
names and screen readers jump to among the window's landmarks, and the
last item as the current page (`ui.CurrentPage`), which they read as such.
A trail of your own says the same with `Role(ui.RoleNavigation)` and
[`Current`](https://mygo.egoist.dev/docs/ui/accessibility.md#states):

```go
ui.Row(c).Gap(6).Role(ui.RoleNavigation).Label("Breadcrumb").Children(func() {
	ui.Link(c, "Home", "/")
	ui.Text(c, "/").AccessHidden(true)
	ui.Text(c, "Settings").Current(ui.CurrentPage)
})
```
