> I'm in the final stages of setting up my magento 2 store. In the backend I have a process using the API to keep stock information up to date. Sometimes the stock drops to 0 for every item in a category, making it empty. If you go to one of those categories you get:
>
> `We can't find products matching the selection.`
>
> This makes sense, but I was wondering if there was a may to have magento hide the category altogether if the products in the category have no stock.
