As a city issuer, I need to indicate category as part of badge metadata dropdown in badge define workflow

[threeqube]

Categories are as follows:

Exploring Earth and Space (science-related learning) Work & Career (experiences tied to college and career prep) Community Action (civic participation, citizenship, activism, etc.) Sports & Wellness (athletics, health, and nutrition) Design & Making (design, engineering, building, and creating) Media & Music (media and sound production) Performing Arts (theatre, dance, etc.) Storytelling (writing in all forms and reading) Coding and Gaming (programming, game design, etc.) Numbers (math-related learning) Zoology (all things animals)

As discussed, we could leverage the admin panel as we did for types for long term. cc/ @iamjessklein @cmcavoy

Below are two screens for a quick solution, ready for review and then implementation by @daytonn. I suggest we add this feature for cities, but turn it off for other systems and issuers.

// begin aside // Will a world with badges for everything look more like dmoz or wikipedia? Centrally defined and managed categories might not be the best way to foster growth of an open and distributed platform ... even for the use case of cities. Rather than categories, an alternative would be to enable badge directories to create frontend search and filtering that utilize the badge tags and descriptions. // end aside //

I hear you and noted. :monkey:

@christensenep has this been implemented? I didn't see it in the recent heroku staging.

I actually just merged the badgekit side of this a moment ago. That said, the categories won't be saved once a badge is published until the badgekit-api component is merged as well. I'll take a look at that now.

Sounds good. Thanks! :penguin:
