Category component in CIF core components

[MaheshaGu]

Hello Team,

is there any category component in CIF core component? While exploring, I came to know about Featured Category List: 

https://github.com/adobe/aem-core-cif-components/tree/master/ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/...

Anyone used this component? In my case, I wanted to have a component, where I will pass the category ID (or the category name: will be unique) to a graphQL. In the response, I will get the sub category details( sub category names and its images).

For example:  category1 -> In the response, I will get

sub-category1, abc.com/images/category1.jpg

sub-category2, abc.com/images/category2.jpg

sub-category3, abc.com/images/category3.jpg

I thought of using the Featured Category List component.

You can use productlist component. It provides the details of all the products related to particular category

Thanks @AMANATH_ULLAH   for your reply.

I need to use the component productlist that you have mentioned for a scenario: Get list of products based on category.

But, in my case, before this, I need to get the sub category list only.

I mean I will pass the category ID (or the category name: will be unique) to a graphQL. In the response, I will get the sub category details( sub category names and its images).

For example:  category1 -> In the response, I will get

sub-category1, abc.com/images/category1.jpg

sub-category2, abc.com/images/category2.jpg

sub-category3, abc.com/images/category3.jpg

To get the sub categories, you will have to use custom graphQl query.

productlist will only give the products related to category

Hi @AMANATH_ULLAH 

What is the purpose of this component?

I havent used featuredcategorylist component, but from the documentation, it looks to be a kind of card component where authors can author multiple categories manually using multified in static pages and set href to redirect to respective category pages

It does not fetch subcategory details
