This is designed for use within Laravel 4 which is all this readme will cover, however it could be used outside of it if you liked.

Go into your applications composer.json file and add "bigelephant/breadcrumbs": "1.0.*" to your require list and run composer update.

After this is done you can use the breadcrumbs like you would any other composer package.

So you can use a Crumbs:: facade and have some crumbs automatically set you need to add 'BigElephant\Breadcrumbs\CrumbsServiceProvider', to the providers array and 'Crumbs' => 'BigElephant\Breadcrumbs\Facades\Crumbs', to the aliases array in your config/app.php file.

There is also a custom routing class you can use which will add a crumb to your list depending on the route. With it if you add the optional title => 'Title For Crumb', in the same manner as as => 'home',. If this title is set and you use the custom Router it will set that breadcrumb for you.

Instructions for using a custom router coming soon...
