Categories

Learn how to manage the category tree in the Neomode API

Hierarchy:

Lori uses a multi-level category structure, allowing the catalog to be organized hierarchically.

The link structure between levels is established through the parentId field, as described below:

First level

The main category has the parentId=null attribute, making it the first level of the category tree.

Other levels

Have the parentId={GUID} attribute filled with the ID of the parent category. A subcategory can, in turn, be the parent of other subcategories.

Example JSON List simplified

  "parentId": null,

	"name": "Level 1",
	"isActive": true,
	"children": [
		{
			"parentId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",

}

Category Tree creation flow

To register the category tree levels

The category structure is hierarchical and should be created level by level.

1. With a valid token – Authenticate
2. Send the first level of the category tree – PUT Upsert Batch Categories
3. Retrieve the ID of the created category – GET Category Tree
4. Send the second level, using the parentId of the upper-level category – PUT Categories Batch
