BreadcrumbsNavigationUIComponent

InfoGeneratePackages

The given code snippet defines a class called BreadcrumbsComponent that inherits from a class named ApplicationView. The purpose of BreadcrumbsComponent is to provide a template method for generating HTML content specifically designed for displaying a breadcrumb navigation UI. This UI element aids users in understanding their location within the application and facilitates easy navigation to previous pages.

The template method returns an HTML div element with a class attribute set to "text-sm breadcrumbs." Within this div, it uses an unordered list (ul) to represent the breadcrumb trail. The list contains three list items (li), each corresponding to a different level in the navigation hierarchy: Home, Documents, and Add Document. The first two items are links (using the anchor tag 'a'), enabling users to click on them to navigate, while the last item is a text element representing the current page.

Noteworthy details include the use of a domain-specific language (DSL) for generating the HTML content, which makes the code more readable and succinct by abstracting away the complexity of string-based HTML generation. The class and method names suggest that this code is part of a larger web application framework or library, emphasizing component-based architecture and reusable UI elements.

class BreadcrumbsComponent < ApplicationView
  def template
    div(class: "text-sm breadcrumbs") do
      ul do
        li { a { "Home" } }
        li { a { "Documents" } }
        li { "Add Document" }
      end
    end
  end
end
