ARIA Breadcrumb
This is a simple demonstration of the WAI-ARIA Breadcrumb design pattern. The pattern starts with a standard Navigation landmark with an added aria-label attribute to identify the region to screen readers (e.g. "Breadcrumb"). The links are added to an unordered list with the last link identified as the current page using the aria-current="page" attribute.
This design pattern was tested on an example created by William Dodson on Codepen.
