Jinsi ya Kutengeneza Dynamic Breadcrumb Navigation kwa JavaScript na PHP

Breadcrumb navigation inawawezesha watumiaji kujua location yao kwenye website na kurudi nyuma kwa urahisi. Dynamic breadcrumbs zinabadilika kulingana na current page, zikiboresha user experience na SEO.

Hatua kwa Hatua
1️⃣ HTML Structure
<nav id="breadcrumb">
<ul>
<!-- Breadcrumb items zitajazwa dynamically -->
</ul>
</nav>

<style>
#breadcrumb ul {
list-style: none;
display: flex;
gap: 5px;
}
#breadcrumb li::after {
content: ">";
margin-left: 5px;
}
#breadcrumb li:last-child::after {
content: "";
}
#breadcrumb a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #3498db;
}
</style>

2️⃣ JavaScript kwa Dynamic Breadcrumb
const breadcrumb = document.getElementById("breadcrumb").querySelector("ul");
const pathArray = window.location.pathname.split("/").filter(p => p);

breadcrumb.innerHTML = pathArray.map((segment, index) => {
const url = "/" + pathArray.slice(0, index + 1).join("/");
if (index === pathArray.length - 1) {
return `<li>${segment.replace(/-/g, " ")}</li>`; // Current page
}
return `<li><a href="${url}">${segment.replace(/-/g, " ")}</a></li>`;
}).join("");


Hii inachukua URL ya current page na ku-create breadcrumb items automatically.

Segment za URL zinaweza kubadilishwa kuwa readable text (replace("-", " ")).

3️⃣ PHP Version kwa Server-Side Breadcrumb
<?php
$path = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
$segments = array_filter(explode('/', $path));

echo '<nav><ul>';
$buildPath = '';
foreach ($segments as $segment) {
$buildPath .= '/' . $segment;
echo '<li><a href="'.$buildPath.'">'.ucwords(str_replace('-', ' ', $segment)).'</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul></nav>';
?>


Server-side breadcrumbs ni nzuri kwa SEO, kwa sababu search engines zinaona HTML.
