Category Link
Worth remembering that a category_id is a term_id and not a term_taxonomy_id
(And, yes, you can figure that out from reading the code. But these sometimes will be the same, fooling some people into thinking that the term_taxonomy_id was right. But sooner or later you will probably get examples where they are different, and then things do not work right.)
Example of a categories list with the Bootstrap 5 card and badge count.
