[Rank Math SEO Plugin] Primary category detection in php and JSON-LD Breadcrumblist with Rank Math

[ibrempashaev]

Good day!
I use some other plugin to generate JSON-LD Breadcrumblist for Google (Rank Math is not able to do that for now ). It was easy to connect this plugin with Yoast "Primary Category" to generate JSON-LD breadcrumbs just for post's primary category. Example below:

$term_list = wp_get_post_terms($post->ID, 'category', ['fields' => 'all']);
foreach($term_list as $term) { 
	if( get_post_meta($post->ID, '_yoast_wpseo_primary_category',true) == $term->term_id ) {
		// this is a primary category
	}
}

Questions:
1) Are there any solution for Rank Math primary category (Make Term Primary option) is it detectable from other plugins?
2) Has Rank Math Dev team any plans to implement JSON-LD Breadcrumblist generation?
I can explain why it is important: Some people don't want to have visible Breadcrumbs (in code or visually on page/post), but they do want to have nice looking snippet in Google with the breadcrumbs in the same time  
It looks like new version of Yoast adds JSON-LD Breadcrumblist automatically if it's breadcrumbs option is checked.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting MyThemeShop.

1. Unfortunately, we do not have a perfect solution to integrate it with other plugins yet.

2. I have added that as a suggestion and you can expect it to in the plugin's core in a few weeks.

Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.

Thank you! If so, please consider adding automatic JSON-LD Breadcrumblist generation based on Primary Categories as an option under General settings -> Breadcrumbs.
That would be very nice and useful  Moreover that can allow finally to get rid of other plugins, which are used just for JSON-LD Breadcrumblist for Google.
As far as I know Yoast don't have this option for now, it creates markup for JSON-LD Breadcrumblist silently and automatically if breadcrumbs option is on (even if webmaster not used function yoast_breadcrumb in theme template code).

Good day, Montgomerie!
I just checked the new version and I can say that Rank Math adds valid JSON-LD Breadcrumblist markup, if Breadcrumbs is checked on. Thank you very much for fast and reliable support and good customer attitude!
