title: How to make BigCommerce Category Description accessible to display within navigation
body: <p>I am building a custom navigation for a BigCommerce site and need to display category descriptions within the navigation items in addition to <code>name</code> and <code>url</code>.</p>
  <p>My navigation is being displayed via a component so I know I can't request Front Matter there, but as <code>name</code> and <code>url</code> are already accessible I thought the description would be as well..</p>
  <p>Here is part of my navigation code where i'm trying to display the data. Any tips on how to achieve this would be appreciated!</p>
  <pre><code>{{#each children}}
    &lt;li class=&quot;navigation__submenu-item&quot;&gt;
      &lt;a class=&quot;navigation__submenu-action has-subMenu&quot;
        href=&quot;{{url}}&quot;
      &gt;
        {{#if image}}
        &lt;img class=&quot;navigation__submenu-img&quot; src=&quot;{{getImage image}}&quot; alt=&quot;{{image.alt}}&quot; /&gt;
        {{/if}}
       &lt;div&gt;{{name}}&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;small class=&quot;navigation__submenu-msg&quot;&gt;{{description}}&lt;/small&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  {{/each}}
  </code></pre>
