List all of the Wolfram Function Repository resources in a category

Contributed by: Bob Sandheinrich

ResourceFunction["CategoryResourceFunctions"][cat]

gives a list of ResourceFunction objects published in the Wolfram Function Repository in the category cat.

ResourceFunction["CategoryResourceFunctions"][cat,prop]

gives the property prop for each function in the category.

Details

The prop can be any property given by Information[ResourceFunction[…]]; the most useful prop is "Name".

ResourceFunction["CategoryResourceFunctions"]["Categories"] lists all available categories. The categories are also shown on the Wolfram Function Repository homepage.

The default prop is Automatic, which returns a list of ResourceFunction objects. Every other valid prop is faster.

Speed improvement. Now that many more resources exist, this was getting slow. I changed to a bulk metadata request to improve the speed.
