# Open category pages with params

Base JS call:

```javascript
Ecwid.openPage('category');
```

List of additional parameters for the call:

* `'id'` - Category ID. If not specified, Ecwid will ignore any other params and open the main (root) category page (same as `'id': 0`).
* `'name'` - Category name as it would look in the URL: lowercase, spaces replaced with dashes. For example, the "Rental Spaces" category name would transform into `rental-spaces`.
* `'slug_value'` - Custom page slug for the category. Use it instead of the `name` parameter if a category has a custom slug.
* `'page'` - Page number for categories where products don't fit on one page. If you pass a value bigger than the number of pages in the category, Ecwid will open the last page.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you pass both `id` and `name` or `id` and `slug_value` parameters, Ecwid JS API will create a category URL and open it without making additional backend requests to confirm the category exists. The choice between the `name` or `slug_value` parameters depends on whether a category has a custom slug.
{% endhint %}

Code example:

```javascript
Ecwid.openPage('category', {'id': 20671017, slug_value: 'rental', 'page': 2});
```

You can also open the side menu with product filters on category pages with the `Ecwid.showProductFilters();` call.

Code example:

```javascript
Ecwid.openPage('category', 'id': 20671017);

Ecwid.showProductFilters();
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ecwid.com/storefronts/open-page-on-the-storefront/open-category-pages-with-params.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
