Categories

Use categories to group your media items by different topics. Eg. “Theology”, “Christian Living”, “Kids” could be categories that are referenced by media items. Your user can filter the search page by categories. Or you could use categories to query a list of media items to present them as a gallery on the homepage. Also categories will show up on the search result items.

Here is an example of a category:

src/content/categories/theology.json

{
  "label": "theology"
}

Category Structure

A category is a JSON file that describes a category. The category identifier is its filename without the .json suffix. Here is the available properties.

label

type: string
example: "theology"
required: true

The label is a the name of the category that will show up on the UI. The label can either be a fixed string or a translation key to support multiple locales. LightNet will try to lookup the translation with the key. If it does not find a translation with this key, it will return the key itself (this is how fixed strings work).
