Categories

Overview

DirectoryKit uses a two-level hierarchy:

• Spheres — Top-level groupings (e.g., "Development", "Design", "Marketing")
• Categories — Items within spheres (e.g., "Frontend Frameworks", "UI Libraries")

Management

Categories and spheres are managed via the admin panel at /admin/categories. Features include:

• Drag-and-drop reordering within and between spheres
• Add, edit, and delete categories and spheres
• CSV import for bulk creation

Database

Categories are stored in the categories table. Projects reference categories via a JSONB array column.

Frontend components

• CategorySelector — Dropdown for filtering by category
• CategoryBadge — Display badge for category labels
• Category listing page at /categories
• Category detail page at /categories/[slug]
