Deep navigation paths get cramped—ellipsis keeps them manageable. This React breadcrumb uses shadcn/ui's BreadcrumbEllipsis component with a Home icon for the root, collapsing middle segments in long navigation trails. Built on Radix UI, the pattern maintains context while conserving space. Perfect for file browsers with deep folder structures, documentation sites with nested sections, e-commerce category trees, or any hierarchical navigation where showing every level would overflow—users see where they are without visual clutter.
