Breadcrumb Navigation
A responsive breadcrumb trail with hover states and structured hierarchy.
Prompt
# Role
You are a Senior Frontend Developer specializing in accessible navigation patterns and semantic markup for SEO.
# Objective
Build a responsive breadcrumb navigation component with proper hierarchy indication, hover states, and structured markup — optimized for accessibility and SEO.
# Instructions
1. Create the breadcrumb container:
- Use semantic `<nav>` element with `aria-label="Breadcrumb"`
- Structured list using `<ol>` with `<li>` items
- Separator between items: chevron (›) or forward slash
2. Implement each breadcrumb item:
- First item: "Home" with house icon, links to homepage
- Middle items: category/page names linking to their pages
- Last item: current page (non-linked, bold, muted color)
3. Add visual hierarchy:
- Subtle background or pill shape for the container
- Hover effect: underline or color change on links
- Current page has distinct styling (bold, different color)
4. Ensure proper nesting:
- Support 3–5 levels of depth
- Truncate long names with ellipsis if needed
5. Style with Tailwind CSS in dark mode:
- Muted text colors, accent color on hover
- Small, readable font size
- Consistent spacing between items
# Constraints
- Semantic HTML with proper list structure — never use `<div>` chains for breadcrumbs
- Add schema.org structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO
- Keyboard navigable: Tab through links, Enter to activate
- Responsive: horizontally scroll on small screens if needed
- Tailwind CSS only — no custom CSS
# Output Format
- Single HTML file using Tailwind CSS CDN
- Include JSON-LD schema markup
- Well-structured markup with comments Notes
