Custom separator

BreadcrumbSeparator renders a chevron by default; pass children to swap it.

import { DotIcon } from "lucide-react";

import {
  Breadcrumb,
  BreadcrumbItem,
  BreadcrumbLink,
  BreadcrumbList,
  BreadcrumbPage,
  BreadcrumbSeparator,
} from "@/registry/base/ui/breadcrumb";

export default function BreadcrumbSeparatorDemo() {
  return (
    <Breadcrumb>
      <BreadcrumbList>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink href="/">Home</BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator>
          <DotIcon />
        </BreadcrumbSeparator>
        <BreadcrumbItem>
          <BreadcrumbLink href="/components">Components</BreadcrumbLink>
        </BreadcrumbItem>
        <BreadcrumbSeparator>
          <DotIcon />
