Breadcrumbs in Ruby on Rails

Question

I\'m slightly insecure about my breadcrumb solution. Names and links are defined in each controller action:

Home         


        

Answer 1

You could also use Ariane http://github.com/simonc/ariane

With it you can generate any kind of breadcrumb, as links in a paragraph or as a ul/li :)

If you want something specific, you can create your own renderer.

It's pretty simple to use, just add this in a before_filter:

ariane.add 'Home', root_path # in the app controller to have it everywhere
ariane.add 'Some Page', some_path
