Optimize Breadcrumbs

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 5 February 2025, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

The current breadcrumb implementation may not meet Web Accessibility (ADA) guidelines due to improper list item usage when a single breadcrumb item exists. The code currently causes screen reader and navigation challenges for users with disabilities. See here. Single items need to be handled differently then multiple items.

Steps to reproduce

Check how single or multiple breadcrumb items are rendered, compare to WCAG standards.

Proposed resolution

Modify the breadcrumb template to ensure:

  • List items are used semantically and appropriately
  • Single and multiple breadcrumb item scenarios are handled correctly
  • Maintain existing logic for wrapper and item tag selection
  • Preserve current functionality while improving accessibility.
