I’m looking for the file that tells me what else I can access on a category like ‘stat’ on line 35 in:  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/components/categories-only.hbs#L35](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/components/categories-only.hbs#L35)

I’ve mostly been searching for a category model or controller, but have yet to find the ‘thing’ that exposes ‘stat’. (My eventual goal is to display the total amount of topics, rather than x topics per timeframe.)

Any leads?

Massive thanks for all the input, if someones trying to inspect something (for example ‘c’ for category) in a template in the future; put `{{log c}}` somewhere in the template where its accessible and rejoice as the template spits the object out to the console when you refresh your page.
