Entity name as label

[stevelacey]

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the docs / implementation / source code, but is there no way to specify an entities name or __toString value as a breadcrumb's label?

As far as I can see, you can only use parameters passed in the URL, and beyond that there's no way to customise breadcrumbs from the controller (which I don't really want to have to do anyway).

Am I missing something or is this a glaring omission?

This is an issue, that should be solved. Using entities might be a reasonable choice to enable more flexibility with the breadcrumbs (as now the children are restricted to have all their parents parameters available to them).

However I don't think that using entities should cause extra database queries, so this might require some more thought about how and when the breadcrumbs are generated.

This bundle was written specifically to avoid cluttering the controller actions with breadcrumb annotations or code.

Agreed on all points, perhaps there is a way to grab the entity from the
DIC when using controller actions that grab them based on URL params.

Great bundle, but I'm also looking for a way to use other entity representations in the breadcrumb than just the parameters used in the URI. I'm passing in IDs the URI and use Symfony's paramconverter to get entities in my controller. Could this possibly be a starting point for the issue described above? Since the paramconverter is used anyway, there wouldn't be extra queries to the database. I would be willing to give it a try, please give me your thoughts.
