Get Category

1. Creating the Interface for Category Selection

• An element (e.g. Select Box or Table) where the user can select a category is created.
• The information belonging to the selected category is to be displayed in another form (e.g. category name, description, parent category).

2. Define the action

• When a selection is made or a page is loaded:
  
  • + ADD ACTION > OnChange or OnPageLoad > EAV > Category > Get Category action is defined.

• The Id parameter is linked to the category ID of the selected component.

3. Linking the Results to Components

• The data returned by the action is distributed to the form components and the details are displayed to the user:
  
  • Name
  • Description
  • ParentId

An administrator wants to edit an existing category. To do this:

1. A row is selected from the category list.
2. The Get Category action is triggered with this ID.
3. The information for the selected category is displayed in a form:
   
   • Category name: ‘Contact Information’
   • Description: ‘Fields related to phone and email’
   • Parent Category: ‘User Information’
4. The administrator makes changes and updates with the Update Category action.

• Automatic Form Filling: The result of the action can be written directly to form fields with Set Value actions.
• Hiding ID: ID information can be stored in an invisible field or through a variable used only for the process.
• Conditional Loading: The action can be cancelled if the ID is empty or invalid.

Technical Risks

• Invalid or Empty ID: If the ID parameter is empty or does not exist in the system, the result may not be returned.
• Data Format Incompatibility: Components linked to the action result must be configured according to the appropriate data types.
• Beta Version Risk: As the feature is in beta, unstable behaviour may occur in some scenarios.

The Get Category action is an ideal solution for quickly accessing category details on the Kuika platform and displaying this data on the interface. It provides a powerful foundation for operations such as updating, viewing, and validating. Despite working with a single parameter, it offers high flexibility in data flow.
