## Best for

Single column guide rows pairing a photo with a View button, a starting budget and dot separated links to subcategories

## Agent notes

- `checklist` holds each guide's subcategory link labels, and every label links to the guide's own `href`, so give each one a real route
- `budget` and `itemCount` are display strings, so format real prices and counts as text before they fill `CollectionGuide`
- The Collection Guides heading, its intro line and the Browse Collections button are literal text in `CategoryCard`, not data

## When not to use

- Saved products in rows with bulk selection and stock status: use [Bulk Action Wishlist](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/ecommerce/wishlist/wishlist-1.md) (`get_block("wishlist-1")`)

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/category-card-5
```

## About Category Card blocks

### When to use

- A shop by category section that sends shoppers from a photo into a department or collection
- Collection and catalog landing pages: a featured department, curated guides or seasonal edits
- A collections browse page that shoppers search, filter, sort and page through

### When not to use

- Individual items for sale on tiles, each with its own price and buy or wishlist controls: use the [Product Card blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/ecommerce/product-card.md)
- Dashboard tiles for KPIs, records or setup guides, away from any storefront: use the [Card blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/card.md)
- Rows of funds, transactions or integrations, each with a figure or a connect button: use the [List blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/list.md)

### Agent notes

- `CategoryCard` takes no props and renders the arrays in its data module; add a prop to pass in your own categories
- Every `href` in the data module is a hash placeholder and every `image` points at an Unsplash demo photo; swap in your routes and photos
- Each page.tsx centers `CategoryCard` in a padded `min-h-svh` wrapper; drop it inside your own storefront layout
