Example 1: This is the basic example that illustrates how to use the Breadcrumb Component.

app.component.html

<h2>GeeksforGeeks</h2>
<h5>PrimeNG Breadcrumb Component</h5>
<p-breadcrumb [model]="gfg"></p-breadcrumb>

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } 
    from "@angular/platform-browser/animations";

import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";
import { BreadcrumbModule } from "primeng/breadcrumb";

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule, 
              BrowserAnimationsModule, 
            BreadcrumbModule],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

app.component.ts

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { MenuItem } from "primeng/api";

@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
})
export class AppComponent {
  gfg: MenuItem[];

  ngOnInit() {
    this.gfg = [
      { label: "AngularJS" },
      { label: "ReactJS" },
      { label: "HTML" },
      { label: "JavaScript" },

<p-breadcrumb
  [model]="[{label: 'A'},{label: 'B'},
       {label: 'C'},{label: 'D'},{label: 'E'}]"
  [home]="home">
</p-breadcrumb>

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } 
    from "@angular/platform-browser/animations";

import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";
import { BreadcrumbModule } from "primeng/breadcrumb";

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule, 
              BrowserAnimationsModule, 
            BreadcrumbModule],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

app.component.ts

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { MenuItem } from "primeng/api";

@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
})
export class AppComponent {
  gfg: MenuItem[];
  home: MenuItem;

  ngOnInit() {
    this.home = { icon: "pi pi-home" };
