Overview
The Blazor Breadcrumb component is a graphical user interface that serves as a navigation header for your web application or site. It helps to identify or highlight the current location within the hierarchical structure of a website. It has several built-in features such as templates, icons, binding to location, overflow mode, and UI customizations.
Breadcrumb item icons
Users tend to understand visual information better than text. Include icons or sprite images to the right or left of the Breadcrumb items to provide a visual representation of their corresponding actions.
Separator Template
You can use a horizontal line separator to present similar action items as a group within a list of available items.

UI customization with templates
Templates are used to create custom user experiences. The Breadcrumb component provides a template for each breadcrumb item and its separator to customize the appearance of the entire Breadcrumb component UI with HTML elements or other components.
Limit items with overflow mode
Overflow mode limits the number of items that can be displayed in the view when the Breadcrumb items’ width exceeds the container width or the maximum item count. The following are the different overflow modes supported in the Breadcrumb component.
Navigation
The Blazor Breadcrumb control comes with a rich UI and support for different internal and external navigations.

Menu mode
Menu mode shows the Breadcrumb items that can be accommodated within the container space and creates a submenu with the remaining items.
Collapsed mode
Collapsed mode shows the first and last Breadcrumb items and hides the remaining items with a collapsed icon. When the collapsed icon is clicked, all items become visible and navigable.
Wrap mode
Wrap mode wraps the items to multiple lines when the Breadcrumb component’s width exceeds the container space.
Scroll mode
Scroll mode shows an HTML scroll bar when the Breadcrumb component’s width exceeds the container space.
Hidden mode
Hidden mode shows the maximum number of items possible in the container space and hides the remaining items. Clicking the item before the hidden item will make the hidden item visible.
None mode
None mode shows all the items on a single line.
Bind to location
Breadcrumb items can be automatically generated based on the current location of the user within the website or by providing a URL to the Breadcrumb component. The auto generated items can be customized using templates and item render events.
Note: The previous sample is hosted in a different location and Breadcrumb items are generated based on it.
