As well as every endpoint in the API for find and findAll have params request, In Categories there is one param which is considered special param, this is param is products, this adds an extra attribute to categories normal request. The normal request and the special request will be compared below in the examples.

"id": 248,
"business_id": 41,
"name": "Main menu",
"image": "https://res.cloudinary.com/ordering/image/upload/v1490664405/njrzftn3ttjxuvjfscls.jpg",
"rank": 7,
"enabled": true
},
{
"id": 249,
"business_id": 41,

"rank": 8,
"enabled": true
}
...
]
Example of special request:
http://apiv4.ordering.co/v400/en/demo/business/41/categories?params=products
[

"id": 248,
"business_id": 41,

"category_id": 248,
"inventoried": false,
"quantity": 0,
