Collapsing Breadcrumb
A breadcrumb that collapses in the middle rather than truncating at the end: the root and the current level always survive.
React + Tailwind, shadcn-compatible: press “Copy for AI” and your Cursor or Claude Code agent installs it with the shadcn CLI.
What you can change
- the items array: labels and hrefs; the last item needs no href
- maxVisible — how many levels show before collapsing
- the accent through the accent prop — it colours the focus ring
A link for your AI agent: preview, code and instructions.

FAQ
- How do I add Collapsing Breadcrumb with Cursor or Claude Code?
- Press “Copy for AI” on this page and paste it into your agent's chat. The instruction contains the shadcn CLI install command, the dependencies and what to keep, so the agent installs this exact component instead of recreating a lookalike.
- What does Collapsing Breadcrumb depend on?
- No npm packages beyond React and Tailwind CSS.
- What can I change in Collapsing Breadcrumb?
- Adapt: the items array: labels and hrefs; the last item needs no href; maxVisible — how many levels show before collapsing; the accent through the accent prop — it colours the focus ring. Keep as installed: the local --vibeui-breadcrumb-001-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens (text-muted-foreground and the like); collapsing the middle specifically: truncating the end hides the current level, the one thing that says where the user is; the <nav> + <ol> semantics with a label: this is a list of levels, not a pile of links.
- Is Collapsing Breadcrumb free?
- Yes. The preview is open without an account; with a free account you can copy up to 20 components a month.
For developers
npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.club/r/pro/breadcrumb-001.jsonThis command needs a signed link: sign in and open “Component source” below — it issues a working link valid for 30 minutes. All install options
Technical notes
The component is self-contained: one file, no dependencies, its own palette in the local --vibeui-breadcrumb-001-* variables. The markup is semantic: a <nav> with a label, and an <ol> inside — the order of the levels carries meaning. The current level is not a link and is marked with aria-current="page". The separator is the border of a square rotated by 45°, so no font characters and no icons are needed. The collapse is computed from maxVisible: the first level, an ellipsis, then the last ones.
