REST API: Get ID of current node's category

Hi Gursimrat,

rather than via REST, have you tried using the coreNode context object? I think you should be able to retrieve this information by looking for the ID of the coreNode or by looking up at its ancestors.

The documentation can be found here

Regards,

That's very odd - it should be fine when called from the context of a board. What error are you getting? Please keep in mind that ancestors is an array so you would need to look into the array elements to find out the information around the node's ancestors.

For example:

${coreNode.ancestors[0].id}

 Would return the id of the first ancestor.

Or is there any widget in Lithium which can display the boards in the current category?

Lets say Category Animals has boards Tiger, Horse, Rhino, Lion, Elephant etc and when I am inside Board Horse, I should be able to see the other 4 boards inside Animals Category.

Thanks

Here are a couple more examples of working with coreNode.ancestors that might give you some ideas:
