Blazor Breadcrumb Overview
The Blazor Breadcrumb component allows navigation within a folder structure or web page. It provides an easy way to navigate backwards by one or multiple steps. In addition to built-in navigation capabilities, you can browse through the items, define templates for the individual nodes, render text and icons, and respond to events.

Basics
To use a Telerik Breadcrumb for Blazor:
- add the
TelerikBreadcrumbtag - provide a collection of objects to its
Dataproperty (read more in the Data Binding article) - match the fields in the model with the binding schema for the nodes
- In this example, we keep it simple by only providing text for the Breadcrumb items. See the Navigation article for more details on how to use the Breadcrumb for navigating through items.
