The documentation for categories is here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/functions/categories/perch-categories/

You create a template to display the fields you want to display, as with anything else in Perch.

I have the blog app, and i have read the documentation. I just want to display a category with items in a list with link to the blog page

Sample:

Announcement (category, which has blog 3 post under it)

Blog heading one description content here

Blog heading tow description content here

Blog heading three description content here

It would be helpful if you create samples in your documentations. Can you help me with this?

To clarify, are you looking to display posts by category? If so, the example files with the Blog app do that for you.

Something like

perch_blog_custom([
     'category' => 'my-category-slug',
]);
