Now available – the active_breadcrumbs gem. It’s a light-weight utility gem for creating breadcrumbs for Ruby/Rails websites, a standard navigational aid for websites. Now available for downloading at RubyGems.org and GitHub.
This gem makes it easy to generate breadcrumb trails in a Rails application. The emphasis is on “structural” breadcrumbs, where a breadcrumb trail reflects the logical structure of a web site (as opposed to a “dynamic” trail, which reflects where the user has been – for which I humbbly suggest the user take advantage of the browser’s Back button). For more information, see the documentation on GitHub.
