Magento 2 - Get Categories by Custom Category Attribute

Question

In Magento2 - I've created a yes/no toggle category attribute named is_featured, its shown as "Homepage Category" in the screenshot below.

I'd like to be able to display (on the homepage cms page) all categories with this category attribute set to yes, I'd need to grab the category title, url, thumbnail etc, does anyone have any recommended steps on how to achieve this?

Answer 1

Hi Below is the standard way to achieve it.

    namespace NameSpace\Module\Block;


    class FeaturedCategories extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{


     protected $categoryCollectionFactory;

    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context,
        \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Category\CollectionFactory $categoryCollectionFactory,
        array $data = []
    ) {
        $this->categoryCollectionFactory = $categoryCollectionFactory;
        parent::__construct($context, $data);
    }

    public function getFeaturedCategories()
    {
        $collection = $this->categoryCollectionFactory->create();
        $collection->addAttributeToSelect('*')
            ->addAttributeToFilter('is_featured_category', '1')
            ->addAttributeToFilter('is_active', '1')
            ->setPageSize(10)
            ->setCurPage(1);

        return $collection;
    }
}

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();    
$category = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Category\Collection');
        $category->addAttributeToSelect('*')
        ->setPageSize(1)
        ->addAttributeToFilter('is_featured',['eq'=>1])
        ->setOrder('updated_at', 'desc');
