Tailwind CSS Breadcrumbs
Show the location of the current page in a hierarchical structure using the Tailwind CSS breadcrumb components
The breadcrumb component is an important part of any website or application that can be used to show the current location of a page in a hierarchical structure of pages.
Tailwind includes two styles of breadcrumb elements, one that has a transparent background and a few more that come with a background in different colors.
