Get ID from a board's category

Hello I'm trying to add a component to some boards, but I need to add from specific category. How do I get the category ID from these boards? so I can make my condition.

Sounds like you need

${coreNode.id}

and get id of the current page.

    coreNode.id will return the board id if you are on a board page or message/article page.

    Here you can check how you can apply category conttraint in the quries

    For Root

     

    select * from boards WHERE root_category.id = 'ABC'

     

     

     For Parent

     

    select * from boards WHERE parent_category.id = 'ABC'

     

     

    For mutiple categories 

     

    select * from boards WHERE root_category.id IN ('ABC', 'XYZ')
