Behind The Scenes

Click to read!

Imagine your app having the following routes:

1. /momentum
2. /projects/[projectId]
3. /[[…slug]]
4. /users/[userId]/[[…stuff]]
5. /users/[userId]/[[…slug]]?t=record
6. /users?t=record
7. /users/[userId]?t=record

Last three examples also include URL parameters, which can be used to construct breadcrumbs. For example, when you have a page consisting from another set of tabs, but you don't want to create another route for that.

All of those examples can be transformed to the following formats (lets omit Home element in resulting breadcrumbs):

Pattern	Breadcrumbs	Example URL
/momentum	Momentum	=
/profile?t=records	Profile > Records	=
/projects/[projectId]	Projects > "Grammar"	/projects/17
/[[…slug]]	Russia > Moscow > Subway > Kommunarka	/russia/moscow/subway/kommunarka
/users/[userId]/[[…stuff]]	Users > Pavel > Deliveries > Yandex > Lavka	/users/132/deliveries/yandex/lavka
/users/[userId]/[[…slug]]?t=records[1]	Users > Pavel > Deliveries > Dashboard > Record	/users/132/deliveries/dashboard?t=records
/users/[userId]?t=records	Users > Pavel > Records	/users/132?t=records

[1] - Search params always are taken last, because change of URL (w/o params) is the same as opening another page, thus even having the same params set int the URL doesn't mean they should go in the beginning. They are behaviour modifiers of the page, but not its primary descriptor.
