I have a products route, and I have a form to add the product, where's should I call the getCategories function to get all the categories for the product? should I create a categories context and make it available for the product layout and its children? or is there a better practice?

no, some people like it that way, some the other way. Normally your audience is a group of people that like the same way. So when you know your audicene (and the way) you can easily provide the best way for them

you can do it however you like (or whats best for your user). Fetch them when he enteres the product page.
Fetch them when he want to select a category
Fetch them after a specific delay after the user opened the product page
Fetch them at a specific point

so would creating a category context and making it available for the page layout's children be good? because m not entirely sure what's the best choice for the best user experience .. and m definitely sure there better ways than others
do what your user likes. I am not familiar with your audience, but you are. So take a look on how they would operate and add it like that

interesting .. so there's no certain opinionated way of doing it?
