PlaygroundLong breadcrumb
When there are more than 3 items, the breadcrumb should be collapsed by default and items should be displayed if there's enough space.
The first item and the last 2 items should always be visible.
<nav class="ecl-breadcrumb" aria-label="You are here:" data-ecl-breadcrumb="true">
<ol class="ecl-breadcrumb__container">

PlaygroundJS behaviour
Auto initialisation
In order to automatically initalise the JS behaviour, add data-ecl-auto-init="Breadcrumb" to your component's markup:
<nav
class="ecl-breadcrumb"
aria-label="You are here:"
data-ecl-breadcrumb
data-ecl-auto-init="Breadcrumb"
>
...
</nav>
Don't forget to call ECL.autoInit() when your page is ready!
Manual initialisation
When the document is ready, query the element. For example, you can use document.querySelector('[data-ecl-breadcrumb]') if you only have 1 breadcrumb in the page.
Then, instantiate the Breadcrumb component and call init():
var elt = document.querySelector('[data-ecl-breadcrumb]');
var breadcrumb = new ECL.Breadcrumb(elt);
breadcrumb.init();
