Measured entry
hextaui-breadcrumb
A copy-in breadcrumb primitive delivered through a shadcn registry, with semantic navigation and list elements plus link, current-page, separator, and ellipsis parts. It uses React, Radix Slot for polymorphic links, Lucide icons, Tailwind utility classes, and a shared class-merging helper.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 654ms error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "lucide-react" from "<sandbox>re-d96a674ba2cc/src/cut/components/ui/breadcrumb.tsx".
Verdict
A sound, accessible set of breadcrumb primitives for Tailwind projects, with clean composition and no provider requirement. Adopt it when you are comfortable owning route mapping and responsive behavior; the component does not solve either, and the supplied narrow presentation overflows.
Use it if
- You want composable breadcrumb parts that can map onto your router links through the child-slot option.
- Your app already uses Tailwind theme tokens and a shared class-merging utility.
- You need semantic breadcrumb markup with a clearly marked current page and decorative separators.
Skip it if
- You need breadcrumbs generated automatically from route metadata or page hierarchy.
- You need built-in responsive collapsing, truncation, or overflow management for long paths.
- Your narrow layout cannot tolerate the supplied fixed-width presentation overflowing the viewport.
- You want a packaged component with isolated styles instead of source copied into your application.
Install
| Declared dependencies | @radix-ui/react-slot, clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add React, Radix Slot, Lucide React, Tailwind CSS, clsx, and tailwind-merge. Provide the shared class-merging helper, configure the referenced semantic color and focus-ring tokens, and replace the source alias with a path your build resolves.
