The first concept of implement breadcrumbs is to help the users locating themselves. We required a package, bumped excellent idea, request URL segments and generated the breadcrumbs based on that. Decide to generate an array where the keys are the segments of the URL, and the values are the URLs of the keys. Also read:​Which is a better web development framework: Django or Laravel? Let’s see an example:


// Route: blog/category/seo

[ 'blog' => 'blog', 'category' => 'blog/category', 'seo' => 'blog/category/seo', ] View Composer First when we don’t need the breadcrumbs in every view, at that time use view composer. The reason behind to use composer that can control in which views we share the data and which we don’t. When use breadcrumbs only thing we should not forget, to bind the composer the views we need. We can do it in service provider’s boot() method. visit here:​Major Advantages: Laravel over other PHP Frameworks (Updated 2017) // Push the breadcrumbs to the view View::composer('blog.*', BreadcrumbComposer::class); The Breadcrumbs Rendering Let’s take a look at the blade template: <nav> <ul> <li class="{{ $breadcrumbs->isEmpty() ? 'is-active' : '' }}"><a href="/">Home</a></li> @foreach ($breadcrumbs as $key => $url) <li class="{{ $loop->last ? 'is-active' : '' }}"> <a href="{{ url($url) }}"> @if (! $loop->last) {{ ucfirst($key) }}


@else @yield ('title') @endif </a> </li> @endforeach </ul> </nav> When we start using foreach loop, we have the $loop variable. It gives more flexibility. Take example when you have a breadcrumbs.php file for storing the formatted/translated version of the segments. So with this case you can do the following: // for example: breadcrumbs.blog, breadcrumbs.category... trans('breadcrumbs.'.$key); Conclusion This Type of Laravel approach can be beneficial for those, who need the straightforward yet flexible solution. ​Laravel development services follow this type of complex URL structure. In general, it should be enough. Flexible, translatable and easily customizable with CSS.Visit here:​http://www.elsner.com/services/laravel-development/
