To check if a category already exists before creating a new one, you can query your database or data store to see if the category name already exists. Here's an example code snippet:

// Check if the category already exists

if (categoryExists(categoryName)) {

// Handle error or notify user that category already exists

} else {

// Create the new category

createCategory(categoryName);

}

Regarding adding items to a category, you will need to create a way to associate items with categories. This could be done by adding a field to your item table or data model that specifies the category for each item. Here's an example code snippet for adding an item to a category:

// Add an item to a category

function addItemToCategory(itemID, categoryName) {

// Update the item record to include the category

updateItemCategory(itemID, categoryName);

}

You would need to replace the updateItemCategory function with the appropriate code to update your database or data store.
