Symfony 2 breadcrumbs based on KnpMenuBundle (KnpMenu 2.1)

README.md

If you are using KnpMenu > 2.1, you can directly use this feature:

• PR: KnpLabs/KnpMenu#228
• Doc: https://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpMenu/blob/master/doc/02-Twig-Integration.markdown#functions

You can use it like this:

<ol class="breadcrumb">
{% for breadcrumb_item in knp_menu_get_breadcrumbs_array(knp_menu_get_current_item('main')) %}
    {% if not loop.last %}
    <li><a href="{{ breadcrumb_item.uri }}">{{ breadcrumb_item.label }}</a></li>
    {% else %}
    <li class="active">{{ breadcrumb_item.label }}</li>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ol>

base.html.twig

{{ knp_menu_render('main', {'template': ':Menu:breadcrumb.html.twig'}) }}

breadcrumb.html.twig

<ol class="breadcrumb">
{% for breadcrumb_item in knp_menu_get_breadcrumbs_array(knp_menu_get_current_item(item)) %}
    {% if not loop.last %}
    <li><a href="{{ breadcrumb_item.uri }}">{{ breadcrumb_item.label }}</a></li>
    {% else %}
    <li class="active">{{ breadcrumb_item.label }}</li>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ol>

services.yml

services:
    app.menu.builder:
        class: AppBundle\Menu\Builder
        arguments:
            - '@knp_menu.factory'
        tags:
            - { name: knp_menu.menu_builder, method: createMainMenu, alias: main }

    app.twig.menu_extension:
        class: AppBundle\Twig\MenuExtension
        arguments:
            - '@knp_menu.helper'
            - '@knp_menu.matcher'
        tags:
            - { name: twig.extension }

unable to make a PR but to be compatible with sf2.8+ quote the service name

arguments:
- "@knp_menu.helper"
- "@knp_menu.matcher"

because : The reserved indicator "@" cannot start a plain scalar; need to quote the scalar

Thanks @mickaelCOLLET, I updated the Gist.

A PR on the KnpMenu repo is open : KnpLabs/KnpMenu#228

PR merged, it will be available on 2.2

This is a very good solution 😄 @fsevestre many thanks for saving my day...I think it should've been shipped with the KnpMenuBundle in the begining

Doesn't work for me...Why this shows only root not matched child of Item...in MenuExtension.php in method retrieveCurrentItem in line 70 "if" statement always return only root...removing this and adding else{ return $item } in line 82 . Make this working

Thank you @fsevestre, but in my project I found an issue :

I have two routes :
@route("/blog/{currentPage}", name="post_list", requirements={"currentPage": "\d+"}) // Blog
@route("/blog/posts/{slug}", name="post_show") // Blog post title ex: Lorem ipsum

When I'm on the post_list page, it shows a breadcrumbs like : Home -> Blog and not : Home -> Blog -> Blog post title

To resolve the issue I changed the function :

private function retrieveCurrentItem(ItemInterface $item)

by :

    private function retrieveCurrentItem(ItemInterface $item)
    {
        $currentItem = null;

        if ($this->matchItem($item)) {
            return $item;
        }

        if ($this->matcher->isAncestor($item)) {
            foreach ($item->getChildren() as $child) {
                $currentItem = $this->retrieveCurrentItem($child);
                if (null !== $currentItem) {
                    break;
                }
            }
        }

        return $currentItem;
    }

    private function matchItem(ItemInterface $item)
    {
        if ($item->getUri() === $this->requestStack->getCurrentRequest()->getRequestUri()) {
            // URL's completely match
            return true;
        }

        return null;
    }

@leperse I don't think there is an issue with the code since I don't implement the way of checking if the item is the current one but use the knp_menu.matcher service provided by KnpMenu. You should implement your own matcher if the default one don't work as you expected.
