Allow arbitrary data to be attached to breadcrumb items

[jessepinho]

For my use case, I need to attach dropdowns to each breadcrumb item that link to sibling resources. To do this, I want to pass arbitrary data along with each breadcrumb's name and path, which I can then use in the template. I've simply added functionality to look for a breadCrumbData key on each controller and pass it along to the template.

Anything holding this up? Would be useful for using icons in breadcrumb

Actually, there is nothing stopping me right now from setting breadCrumb: { name: 'name', icon: 'whatever' } and referring to those in the template. Thanks!

Good point, thanks! I may start using that in my own code in the meantime.

For anyone else coming across this, note that you would have to use a custom breadcrumb template to use @davekaro's approach, since the default template treats the breadCrumb property as a string.
