   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.

   <div class="card border border-0 m-2" style="width: 250px;">
   
       <div class="card-header bg-primary text-white">
           <h5>Categorias</h5>
       </div>
   
       <?php
       foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
           echo '<a class="text-decoration-none list-group-item list-group-item-action text-dark" href="' . esc_attr( esc_url( get_category_link( $category->term_id ) ) ) . '">;
           echo '<div class="d-flex justify-content-between align-items-start">';
           echo esc_html( $category->name );
           echo '<span class="badge bg-primary rounded-pill">' . esc_html( $category->count ) . '</span>';
           echo '</div>';
           echo '</a>';
       }
       ?>
   
   </div>
