[Catalyst] Action for index not 'index'?

[will trillich]

We tried some of the breadcrumb libraries too, but couldn't wrestle them
into our paradigm, either. There are underlying assumptions about your app
or url structure where it tries to divine patterns on its own that often
just don't jibe with what you've got set up.

What we do instead is, we call a function to add another link in our
breadcrumb chain, so it's deliberate and we're completely in control:

$c->add_breadcrumb( "/some/$url_component/here", 'Text for link here' );

throughout our code, and then in the template:

<ul id=3D"breadcrumbs">
<li>You are here:</li>
[% FOREACH crumb IN breadcrumbs -%]
    <li>[%
        IF loop.last %]<span title=3D"You are here">[% crumb.label %]</span=
>[%
        ELSE %]<a href=3D"[% c.uri_for(crumb.path).path %]">[% crumb.label
%]</a>[%
        END
    %]</li>
[% END -%]
</ul>

And here's MyApp::add_breadcrumb en toto--

sub add_breadcrumb {
    my ( $c, $path, $label ) =3D @_;
    my $bc =3D $c->stash->{breadcrumbs} ||=3D [];
    push @$bc, +{
        path =3D> $path,
        label=3D> $label,
    };
}
