## Best for

Wide 2 column image tiles whose resting name and badge give way on hover to a dark panel with the blurb and a Shop button

## Agent notes

- `badge` in `seasonalCategories` carries only a `label`, and the resting Badge is a fixed outline style, so no variant comes from data
- The Seasonal Edit link, the Collection kicker and the Curated seasonal shopping line are literal text in `CollectionMeta` and `CollectionCard`
- Below md the resting name and Badge in `CollectionCard` are hidden and the dark panel stays open, so narrow screens show details without hover

## When not to use

- A single buyable item with an image carousel, sale pricing and a size picker: use [Quick Buy Card](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/ecommerce/product-card/product-card-3.md) (`get_block("product-card-3")`)
- A floating panel of extra details that opens from a trigger on pointer over: use [Hover Card](https://web.dev.reui.io/components/hover-card.md) (`get_component("hover-card")`)

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/category-card-6
```

## 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
