What about routing and categories?

Question

React

There are categories on the site, the link is in brackets, the link
must be in the form of a slug, and not
just an id category/4-detektivi) The whole thing is formed from an array of objects, where the object looks like this: {id:1,name:"comedies",slug:"1-komedii"} I click on the link and the /category/:name route is triggered After that, I need to contact the API, which will return to me all the films related to 1-komedii The question is, is it normal practice if I parse the URL, take the ID from there and send this ID to the API? nibudl reference type getID['1-komedii']//1
In general, I can figure out how to competently load movies by clicking on a category.
It turns out some shitty code.
The question is at what stage and where exactly and how to convert SLUG to ID.
For converting, you need a directory, is it normal if I generate an additional branch in the Store based on my categories stupidly for the directory?
using redux , redux-thunk

Answer 1

Write on the server a GET request for a category by slug and preferably without a prefix with a number. This will be the best option.
