HTML
<nav class="xsh-breadcrumb" aria-label="Breadcrumb">
<a href="../../index.html">Workspace</a>
<span aria-hidden="true">/</span>
<a href="../../components/index.html">Projects</a>
<span aria-hidden="true">/</span>
<span aria-current="page">Northstar</span>
</nav>

Installation & markup

Include the local stylesheet and script once on the page, then place the component inside a data-xsh-ui root. The example above works without a build system.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/dist/xshna-ui.css">
<div data-xsh-ui>
  <!-- Add the HTML example above -->
</div>
<script defer src="/dist/xshna-ui.js"></script>

Component API

Public classes, attributes and hooks used by this example. Keep the xsh- prefix intact.

IdentifierContract
xsh-breadcrumbUsed by the example markup and component styles or behavior.
aria-current=pageUsed by the example markup and component styles or behavior.

Accessibility & keyboard

Provide a nav landmark with aria-label. Mark only the current page with aria-current=page.

Implementation note. Link ancestors to real destinations; the demo uses inert hash links only to demonstrate visual hierarchy.

Interaction contract

Behavioral components use the shared delegated runtime; visual-only primitives rely on semantic HTML and CSS. Runtime controls emit bubbling xsh:* CustomEvents; bind application handlers to those events when server persistence, API data or navigation is required.
