Registering Breadcrumb component using Vue.use()

Import the Breadcrumb Plugin from the Essential JS 2 Vue package and register the same using Vue.use() with Component Plugin as its argument.

Refer to the code snippet given below.

import Vue from 'vue';
import {  BreadcrumbPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-navigations";

Vue.use( BreadcrumbPlugin);

export default {}

By registering component plugin in Vue, all child directives are also globally registered. We can also use Vue.Component() to register Breadcrumb. Refer here to know more about component registration.

Initialize Breadcrumb

Add the EJ2 Vue Breadcrumb using <ejs-breadcrumb> to the <template> section of the App.vue file in src directory.

import Vue from 'vue';
import { BreadcrumbPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-navigations";

Vue.use(BreadcrumbPlugin);

export default {
  data: function() {
      return {};
  }
}
</script>

<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css";

body {
    margin-top: 100px;
    text-align: center;
}
</style>

        <e-breadcrumb-item text= 'Components' url= 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/demos/datagrid/overview'></e-breadcrumb-item>
        <e-breadcrumb-item text= 'Navigations' url= 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/demos/menu/default'></e-breadcrumb-item>
        <e-breadcrumb-item text= 'Breadcrumb' url= 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/vue/demos/breadcrumb/default'></e-breadcrumb-item>
    </e-breadcrumb-items>
</ejs-breadcrumb>
</div>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { BreadcrumbPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-navigations";

Vue.use(BreadcrumbPlugin);

export default {
  data: function() {
        return {};
  }
}
</script>

<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css";

body {
    margin-top: 100px;
    text-align: center;
}
</style>

Enable or Disable Navigation

This feature enables or disables the item navigation. By default, the navigation will be enabled when setting Url property. To prevent breadcrumb item navigation, set enableNavigation property as false in Breadcrumb. The below example shows enabling and disabling the navigation of Breadcrumb items.
