Breadcrumb with Ellipsis (Home Icon) for Svelte

A breadcrumb with a home icon, an ellipsis, then Components and Breadcrumb. The ellipsis does not open.

UI library: Ark UI

The root is a home icon, named Home for screen readers. An ellipsis follows it, then Components, then Breadcrumb as the current page. The ellipsis does not open.

Use it when a deep path starts with a home icon and the middle will not fit. If those hidden levels must stay reachable, list them in a Dropdown Menu. In Svelte, Ark UI does not collapse the route for you.

FAQ

Does the ellipsis open anything?

No. BreadcrumbEllipsis is only the mark: a more icon, hidden from assistive tech, with visually hidden More text. It isn't a button.

How do I let people reach the hidden levels?

Put a Dropdown Menu in that BreadcrumbItem, with the ellipsis or an icon as its trigger and the hidden levels as items. The dropdown version does that with a folder icon.

How is the home icon named?

The link to / holds only a HomeIcon at size-4, hidden from assistive tech, so the link carries aria-label="Home". Screen readers announce it as the Home link.

Which separator sits between the crumbs?

An empty BreadcrumbSeparator renders a chevron, hidden from assistive tech.

Which levels should stay visible?

The root, the direct parent and the current page. Those answer where am I and how do I go up, and the levels between them are the ones people use least.

How do the links go through my router?

BreadcrumbLink takes asChild, and the demo puts an anchor inside. Spread the props it gives you onto your router's link.
