Below is an interactive React Breadcrumb component for navigating nested objects. It uses emojis for a fun learning experience: Explanation 🏠Home: Clicking resets to the top level. 👉 Breadcrumb Items: Each breadcrumb (key) is clickable to navigate back to that level. 📂 Keys List: When at an object, keys are shown as a list. Clicking a key drills down. 📄 Value Display: When a non-object value is reached, it’s shown with a file emoji. Code [code example] Usage Example [code example] This component is reusable and interactive—perfect for learning nested object navigation while having a bit of emoji fun! Interactive Demo Claude [code example] Here’s a mnemonic + visual metaphor to help you remember how to implement a breadcrumb component for nested objects: 📌 Mnemonic: "BREAD" B – Break the object using a path array (e.g., ['Home', 'Products']) R – Render the path as clickable segments E – Extract children from the nested object using reduce A – Allow navigation by slicing the path D – Drill-down by appending keys to the path on click 🧠Visual Metaphor Think of the object like a folder tree , and the breadcrumb is just a GPS trail — every time you go deeper, you're adding a breadcrumb to your trail. Clicking a breadcrumb takes you back to a previous node in the tree. 🧩 Mental Model [code example] 🏗️ Remember the Core Pattern Object + Path[] + Reduce + Render path as links That’s all a breadcrumb for nested objects really is. Want me to generate a flashcard version or a diagram to make it stick even harder? <!-- quiz-start --> Q1: What JavaScript method is used to traverse the nested object based on the path array? [ ] map() [ ] filter() [x] reduce() [ ] forEach() Q2: When a user clicks on a breadcrumb item at index 2, what happens to the path array? [ ] The entire path is cleared [ ] Only the clicked item is removed [x] The path is sliced to keep elements from index 0 to index 2 (inclusive) [ ] A new item is added at index 2 Q3: What is the purpose of returning...
