Magento 2 – How to Get List of Current Store Categories

In this post I am going to explain how to get list of store categories in magento 2.

1. Using Dependency Injection

Add below code snippet in Block class.

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

public function getStoreCategories() 
{
	$currentStore = $this->_storeManager->getStore();
	$storeCategories = $this->_categoryCollection->create()
			->addAttributeToSelect('*')
			->addAttributeToFilter('is_active', 1)
			->setStore($currentStore);
	return $storeCategories;
}

Add below code snippet in template file.

// Get current store's categories
$storeCategories = $block->getStoreCategories();

echo "<pre>";
print_r($storeCategories->getData());
echo "</pre>";

foreach ($storeCategories as $category) {
    echo $category->getId() . '<br />';
    echo $category->getName() . '<br />';
    echo $category->getUrl() . '<br />';
}

2. Using Object Manager

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

//Get current store
$storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
$currentStore = $storeManager->getStore();

// Get current store's categories
$categoryCollection = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Category\CollectionFactory');
$storeCategories = $categoryCollection->create();
$storeCategories->addAttributeToSelect('*')
        ->addAttributeToFilter('is_active', 1)
        ->setStore($currentStore);


echo "<pre>";
print_r($storeCategories->getData());
echo "</pre>";

if ($storeCategories && count($storeCategories) > 0) {
    foreach ($storeCategories as $category) {
        echo $category->getId() . '<br />';
        echo $category->getName() . '<br />';
        echo $category->getUrl() . '<br />';
    }
}

Thats it. Enjoy Magento 2!!
