📌 Defining Breadcrumbs

Create a routes/breadcrumbs.php file:

use Step2dev\LazyBreadcrumb\Breadcrumbs;
use Step2dev\LazyBreadcrumb\Breadcrumbs\Trail;

Breadcrumbs::for('dashboard', function (Trail $trail) {
    $trail->push(__('Dashboard'), route('dashboard'));
});

Breadcrumbs::for('profile', function (Trail $trail) {
    $trail->push(__('Dashboard'), route('dashboard'))
          ->push(__('Profile'), route('profile'));
});

You can also use:

$trail->model($user); // Auto title from $user->name, title, or slug
$trail->replaceLast('Editing');
$trail->import([...]); // Reuse a parent breadcrumb

---

🧩 Blade Components

Use directly in any view:

<x-breadcrumbs />
<x-breadcrumbs-json-ld /> {{-- SEO only --}}

To customize the view, publish and modify resources/views/components/breadcrumbs.blade.php.
