App List

App List

The <AppList> component displays a compact, ranked list of Cardano apps filtered by category tags. Apps are sorted by transaction count (when available), then by favorites, and finally alphabetically.

Basic Usage

<AppList 
  categories={['dex']} 
  limit={5} 
  categoryTitle="DEX" 
/>

Available Tags

Common tags you can use to filter apps. Please see src/data/apps.js for detailed list.

• dex - Decentralized exchanges
• lending - Lending and borrowing protocols
• wallet - Wallets
• explorer - Blockchain explorers
• marketplace - General marketplaces

See All Link

The "See all" button automatically generates the correct link:

• Single tag: /apps?tags=dex
• Multiple tags: /apps?tags=dex&tags=lending&operator=OR
• No tags: /apps

Mobile Optimization

The component is fully responsive:

• Desktop: 2-line descriptions, larger icons (56px)
• Mobile: 1-line descriptions, smaller icons (48px), compact spacing

Transaction Data

Transaction counts are sourced from /src/data/app-stats.json and matched to apps using fuzzy title matching. Apps without transaction data are still displayed but ranked lower (unless marked as favorites).

Want to see your app ranked by transactions?

Learn how to make your app's transactions identifiable on-chain in our Transaction Rankings Guide. This helps us track and display accurate transaction counts for your app.

Icons

Apps can optionally include an icon field in /src/data/apps.js:

{
  title: "Minswap Dex",
  icon: "/img/app-icons/minswap.svg",
  // ... other fields
}

If no icon is provided, the component displays a gradient badge with the first letter of the app name.

Integration Example

Here's how you might use this component on a landing page:

import AppList from '@site/src/components/AppList';

export default function HomePage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Explore the Cardano Ecosystem</h1>
      
      <div style={{ display: 'grid', gap: '2rem', gridTemplateColumns: 'repeat(auto-fit, minmax(450px, 1fr))' }}>
        <AppList 
          categories={['dex']} 
          limit={5} 
          categoryTitle="Top DEXes"
