Breadcrumbs represents a bootstrap 4 version of yii\widgets\Breadcrumbs. It displays a list of links indicating the position of the current page in the whole site hierarchy.

To use Breadcrumbs, you need to configure its $links property, which specifies the links to be displayed. For example,

echo Breadcrumbs::widget([
    'links' => isset($this->params['breadcrumbs']) ? $this->params['breadcrumbs'] : [],
    'options' => [],
]);
