Implementing a dynamic breadcrumbs navigation system in Next.js involves creating a component that dynamically generates the breadcrumb links based on the current route. Below is a simple example of how you can achieve this:
Create a Breadcrumbs component:
Create a new file called Breadcrumbs.js
in your components folder.
jsx// components/Breadcrumbs.js
import Link from 'next/link';
import { useRouter } from 'next/router';
const Breadcrumbs = () => {
const router = useRouter();
const pathSegments = router.asPath.split('/').filter((segment) => segment !== '');
return (
<nav>
<Link href="/">
<a>Home</a>
</Link>
{pathSegments.map((segment, index) => (
<span key={index}>
{' '}
>{' '}
<Link href={`/${pathSegments.slice(0, index + 1).join('/')}`}>
<a>{segment}</a>
</Link>
</span>
))}
</nav>
);
};
export default Breadcrumbs;
This component uses the useRouter
hook from Next.js to get the current route and then dynamically generates breadcrumb links based on the path segments.
Use the Breadcrumbs component in your pages:
In your pages, import and use the Breadcrumbs
component.
jsx// pages/[slug].js
import Breadcrumbs from '../components/Breadcrumbs';
const DynamicPage = ({ data }) => {
// Your page content goes here
return (
<div>
<Breadcrumbs />
{/* Your page content */}
</div>
);
};
export default DynamicPage;
Replace [slug]
with the actual file name of your dynamic page.
Now, when you navigate to a dynamic page, the Breadcrumbs
component will dynamically generate breadcrumb links based on the current route.
This is a basic example, and you might need to customize it based on your specific project requirements. Additionally, you can style the breadcrumbs for better visual representation.
