Measured entry
neobrutalism-breadcrumb
A composable React breadcrumb shipped as a TypeScript shadcn registry item. It provides navigation, list, item, link, current-page, separator, and ellipsis primitives, with Tailwind theme classes, a local class-merging helper, Radix Slot for custom link elements, and Lucide icons.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 718ms error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "lucide-react" from "<sandbox>re-e1ccc7504f78/src/cut/components/ui/breadcrumb.tsx".
Verdict
A dependable, accessible breadcrumb foundation that builds and mounts cleanly, including outside the full shadcn scaffold. Choose it for composability and router-link flexibility, but expect to supply route logic, overflow behavior, and most of the brutalist character yourself.
Use it if
- You want breadcrumb primitives that can be assembled for routes of varying depth.
- Your React interface already uses Tailwind utility classes and shadcn-style conventions.
- You need links to support custom router components through child composition.
- You want wrapping navigation that remains usable in narrow layouts.
Skip it if
- You need an automatic breadcrumb generated from router state rather than a presentational primitive.
- Your project avoids Tailwind theme tokens or path aliases and you do not want to adapt the source.
- You need the ellipsis to open an overflow menu, since this component renders only a visual placeholder.
- You want a distinctive brutalist treatment out of the box, since most of the visual identity comes from surrounding theme styles.
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, and a local class-merging helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge. Replace the source alias or configure it, and define the referenced foreground and font theme utilities.
