DaisyBreadcrumbs

Overview

DaisyBreadcrumbs shows a horizontal trail of navigation steps. It auto-builds DaisyBreadcrumbItem containers, applies separators between items, and marks only the trailing item as non-clickable. Supports custom separators, icons, command execution on intermediate items, and horizontal scrolling when content overflows.

Breadcrumb Properties

Property	Description
`Separator` (string, default "/")	Text used between items. Accepts any string (e.g., `›`, `»`, `>`).
`SeparatorOpacity` (double, default 0.5)	Controls the visual weight of the separator glyph.
`Items`	Supply `DaisyBreadcrumbItem` children directly or bind an `ItemsSource`; containers are created automatically.

Item Properties

Property	Description
`Content`	The label text; supports templated content.
`Icon` (Geometry)	Optional leading icon; hidden when not set.
`Command` / `CommandParameter`	Invoked on click for non-last items when `IsClickable=True`.
`IsClickable` (bool)	Toggle interactivity; still respects `IsLast` (last item never executes commands).
`IsFirst` / `IsLast` / `Index`	Set by the parent for styling and interaction; not usually set manually.
`Separator` / `SeparatorOpacity`	Inherited from the parent; override per item if needed.

Quick Examples

<!-- Basic trail -->
<controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs>
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Home" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Documents" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Add Document" />
</controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs>

<!-- Custom separators and opacity -->
<controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs Separator="›" SeparatorOpacity="0.7">
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Root" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Folder" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="File" />
</controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs>

<!-- With icons -->
<controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs>
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Home" Icon="{StaticResource DaisyIconHome}" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Library" Icon="{StaticResource DaisyIconFolder}" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Report.pdf" Icon="{StaticResource DaisyIconDocument}" />
</controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs>

<!-- Scrollable long path -->
<controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs MaxWidth="220">
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Long text 1" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Long text 2" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Long text 3" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Long text 4" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Long text 5" />
</controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs>

<!-- Command-driven navigation -->
<controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs Separator=">">
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Home"
                                  Command="{Binding NavigateCommand}"
                                  CommandParameter="Home" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Projects"
                                  Command="{Binding NavigateCommand}"
                                  CommandParameter="Projects" />
    <controls:DaisyBreadcrumbItem Content="Current Project" />
</controls:DaisyBreadcrumbs>

Tips & Best Practices

Keep labels short to avoid truncation; set MaxWidth on the breadcrumb control to enable horizontal scrolling for long paths.
Use a distinctive separator (e.g., › or ») to improve scanability on dark backgrounds.
Bind Command on intermediate items for navigation; the last item is intentionally non-interactive to indicate the current page.
Provide icons for top-level nodes (e.g., Home, Folder) to aid recognition, especially on narrow layouts.
If you dynamically generate items, let DaisyBreadcrumbs create containers so IsFirst/IsLast and separators are applied automatically.
