Overflow in Angular Breadcrumb component

6 Sep 202216 minutes to read

Overflow Mode

In the Breadcrumb component, maxItems and overflowMode properties were used to limit the number of breadcrumb items to be displayed.

In the following example, the maxItems is set as 3 with overflowMode as Default. To prevent breadcrumb item navigation, the enableNavigation property has been set to false in the Breadcrumb component.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To Render Breadcrumb. -->
            <ejs-breadcrumb [enableNavigation]="false" [maxItems]=3 >
                <e-breadcrumb-items>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Home" url="../"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Getting" url="./breadcrumb/getting-started"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Data-Binding" url="./breadcrumb/data-binding"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Icons" url="./breadcrumb/icons"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Navigations" url="./breadcrumb/navigations"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Templates" url="./breadcrumb/templates"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Overflow" url="./breadcrumb/overflow"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                </e-breadcrumb-items>
                <ng-template #separatorTemplate>
                    <span class='e-bicons e-arrow'></span>
                </ng-template>
            </ejs-breadcrumb>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BreadcrumbModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
    imports: [BrowserModule, BreadcrumbModule],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

The following overflow modes are available in the Breadcrumb component.

  • Collapsed
  • Menu
  • Wrap
  • Scroll
  • Hidden
  • None

Collapsed

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.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To Render Breadcrumb. -->
            <ejs-breadcrumb [enableNavigation]="false" [maxItems]=3 overflowMode="Collapsed" >
                <e-breadcrumb-items>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Home" url="../"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Getting" url="./breadcrumb/getting-started"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Data-Binding" url="./breadcrumb/data-binding"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Icons" url="./breadcrumb/icons"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Navigations" url="./breadcrumb/navigations"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Templates" url="./breadcrumb/templates"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Overflow" url="./breadcrumb/overflow"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                </e-breadcrumb-items>
                <ng-template #separatorTemplate>
                    <span class='e-bicons e-arrow'></span>
                </ng-template>
            </ejs-breadcrumb>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BreadcrumbModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
    imports: [BrowserModule, BreadcrumbModule],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Menu mode shows the number of Breadcrumb items that can be accommodated within the container space and creates a submenu with the remaining items.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To Render Breadcrumb. -->
            <ejs-breadcrumb [enableNavigation]="false" [maxItems]=3 overflowMode="Menu" >
                <e-breadcrumb-items>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Home" url="../"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Getting" url="./breadcrumb/getting-started"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Data-Binding" url="./breadcrumb/data-binding"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Icons" url="./breadcrumb/icons"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Navigations" url="./breadcrumb/navigations"></e-breadcrumb-item>

                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Overflow" url="./breadcrumb/overflow"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                </e-breadcrumb-items>
                <ng-template #separatorTemplate>
                    <span class='e-bicons e-arrow'></span>
                </ng-template>
            </ejs-breadcrumb>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BreadcrumbModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
    imports: [BrowserModule, BreadcrumbModule],

import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Wrap

Wrap mode wraps the items to multiple lines when the Breadcrumb’s width exceeds the container space.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To Render Breadcrumb. -->
            <ejs-breadcrumb [enableNavigation]="false" [maxItems]=3 overflowMode="Wrap" >
                <e-breadcrumb-items>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Home" url="../"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Getting" url="./breadcrumb/getting-started"></e-breadcrumb-item>

                    <span class='e-bicons e-arrow'></span>
                </ng-template>
            </ejs-breadcrumb>`
})

export class AppComponent {}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BreadcrumbModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
    imports: [BrowserModule, BreadcrumbModule],

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();

Scroll

Scroll mode shows an HTML scroll bar when the Breadcrumb’s width exceeds the container space.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To Render Breadcrumb. -->
            <ejs-breadcrumb [enableNavigation]="false" [maxItems]=3 overflowMode="Scroll" >
                <e-breadcrumb-items>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Home" url="../"></e-breadcrumb-item>
                   <e-breadcrumb-item text="Getting" url="./breadcrumb/getting-started"></e-breadcrumb-item>

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Hidden

Hidden mode shows the maximum number of items possible in the container space and hides the remaining items. Clicking on a previous item will make the hidden item visible.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);
