Smart UI for Web Components is distributed as smart-webcomponents NPM package

Download and install the package.
```
npm install smart-webcomponents
```

Once installed, import the Breadcrumb module in your application.

<script type="module" src="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.breadcrumb.js"></script>

Adding CSS reference

The smart.default.css CSS file should be referenced using following code.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css" />

Add the Breadcrumb tag to your Web Page

<smart-breadcrumb id="breadcrumb"></smart-breadcrumb>

Create the Breadcrumb Component

	<script type="module">
		Smart('#breadcrumb', class {
			get properties() {
				return [object Object]
			}
		});
	</script>

Another option is to create the Breadcrumb is by using the traditional Javascript way:

	const breadcrumb = document.createElement('smart-breadcrumb');

	breadcrumb.disabled = true;
	document.body.appendChild(breadcrumb);

Smart framework provides a way to dynamically create a web component on demand from a DIV tag which is used as a host. The following imports the web component's module and creates it on demand, when the document is ready. The #breadcrumb is the ID of a DIV tag.

	import "../../source/modules/smart.breadcrumb.js";

	document.readyState === 'complete' ? init() : window.onload = init;

	function init() { 
		const breadcrumb = new Smart.Breadcrumb('#breadcrumb', [object Object]);
	}

Open the page in your web server.

Create, Append, Remove, Get/Set Property, Invoke Method, Bind to Event

Create a new element:

	const breadcrumb = document.createElement('smart-breadcrumb');

Append it to the DOM:

	document.body.appendChild(breadcrumb);

Remove it from the DOM:

	breadcrumb.parentNode.removeChild(breadcrumb);

Set a property:

	breadcrumb.propertyName = propertyValue;

Get a property value:

	const propertyValue = breadcrumb.propertyName;

Invoke a method:

	breadcrumb.methodName(argument1, argument2);

Add Event Listener:

	const eventHandler = (event) => {
	   // your code here.
	};

	breadcrumb.addEventListener(eventName, eventHandler);

Remove Event Listener:

	breadcrumb.removeEventListener(eventName, eventHandler, true);

Using with Typescript

Smart Web Components package includes TypeScript definitions which enables strongly-typed access to the Smart UI Components and their configuration.

Inside the download package, the typescript directory contains .d.ts file for each web component and a smart.elements.d.ts typescript definitions file for all web components. Copy the typescript definitions file to your project and in your TypeScript file add a reference to smart.elements.d.ts

Angular provides the easiest way to set angular CLI projects using Angular CLI tool.

Install the CLI application globally to your machine.

npm install -g @angular/cli

ng new smart-angular-breadcrumb

Navigate to the created project folder

cd smart-angular-breadcrumb

Smart UI for Angular is distributed as smart-webcomponents-angular NPM package

Download and install the package.
```
npm install smart-webcomponents-angular
```
Adding CSS reference

The following CSS file is available in ../node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/ package folder. This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code.
```
@import 'smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css';
```
Another way to achieve the same is to edit the angular.json file and in the styles add the style.
```
"styles": [
		"node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css"
	]
```
If you want to use Bootstrap, Fluent or other themes available in the package, you need to add them after 'smart.default.css'.

In this section we will introduce how to scaffold a Vue Single Page Application on your local machine. The created project will be using a build setup based on Vite and allow us to use Vue Single-File Components (SFCs). Run the following command in your command line

npm create vue@latest

This command will install and execute create-vue, the official Vue project scaffolding tool. You will be presented with prompts for several optional features such as TypeScript and testing support:

✔ Project name: … 
✔ Add TypeScript? … No / Yes
✔ Add JSX Support? … No / Yes
✔ Add Vue Router for Single Page Application development? … No / Yes
✔ Add Pinia for state management? … No / Yes
✔ Add Vitest for Unit testing? … No / Yes
✔ Add an End-to-End Testing Solution? … No / Cypress / Playwright
✔ Add ESLint for code quality? … No / Yes
✔ Add Prettier for code formatting? … No / Yes

Scaffolding project in ./...
Done.

If you are unsure about an option, simply choose No by hitting enter for now. Once the project is created, follow the instructions to install dependencies and start the dev server:

cd 
npm install
npm install smart-webcomponents
npm run dev

Make Vue ignore custom elements defined outside of Vue (e.g., using the Web Components APIs). Otherwise, it will throw a warning about an Unknown custom element, assuming that you forgot to register a global component or misspelled a component name.
Open src/main.js in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:

main.js
```
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)

app.config.isCustomElement = tag => tag.startsWith('smart-');
app.mount('#app')
		
```

Open src/App.vue in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:

App.vue

<script>
import { onMounted } from "vue";
import "smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css";
import "smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.breadcrumb.js";

export default {
  name: "app",
  setup() {
    onMounted(() => {
      const breadcrumb1 = document.getElementById("breadcrumb1");
      let newItems = 0;

      breadcrumb1.addEventListener("addNewItem", function() {
        if (newItems === 0) {
          breadcrumb1.addItem({
            index: this.dataSource.length,
            label: "Districts",
            value: "F"
          });
          newItems++;
        } else if (newItems === 1) {
          breadcrumb1.addItem({
            index: this.dataSource.length,
            label: "Blocks",
            value: "G"
          });
          breadcrumb1.addNewItem = false;
        }
      });

      breadcrumb1.addEventListener("dragEnd", function(event) {
        if (!breadcrumb1.contains(event.detail.target)) {
          breadcrumb1.removeItem(event.detail.item);
        }
      });
    });
  }

</script>

<style>
#breadcrumb2 {
  --smart-breadcrumb-item-height: 50px;
  width: 800px;
}

#breadcrumb2 .smart-breadcrumb-item-label {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}

.material-icons {
  margin-right: 5px;
  padding: 5px;
  width: 34px;
  height: 34px;
  background-color: var(--smart-success);
  border-radius: 100%;
}

#breadcrumb3 {
  width: 100px;
}
</style>

We can now use the smart-breadcrumb with Vue 3. Data binding and event handlers will just work right out of the box.

Running the Vue application

Start the app with

npm run serve

and open http://localhost:5173/ in your favorite web browser to see the output below:
When you are ready to ship your app to production, run the following:

npm run build

This will create a production-ready build of your app in the project's ./dist directory.
