          You'll need a controller that you post the category ID to and it returns a JSON array of child category names and IDs with which to populate the subsequent dropdown.



          Something like this should work:



          <?php

          namespace YourModuleControllerIndex;


          use MagentoCatalogApiCategoryRepositoryInterface;
          use MagentoCatalogModelCategory;
          use MagentoFrameworkAppActionAction;
          use MagentoFrameworkAppActionContext;
          use MagentoFrameworkControllerResultJsonFactory;

          class ChildCategories extends Action
          {
          protected $categoryRepository;
          protected $resultJsonFactory;

          public function __construct(Context $context, CategoryRepositoryInterface $categoryRepository, JsonFactory $jsonFactory)
          {
          $this->categoryRepository = $categoryRepository;
          $this->resultJsonFactory = $jsonFactory;

          parent::__construct($context);
          }

          public function execute()
          {
          // get parent category
          $parentId = $this->getRequest()->getParam('category_id');
          /** @var Category $category */
          $category = $this->categoryRepository->get($parentId);

          $childrenData = ;

          foreach ($category->getChildrenCategories() as $childrenCategory) {
          $childrenData = [
          'name' => $childrenCategory->getName(),
          'id' => $childrenCategory->getId()
          ];
          }

          return $this->resultJsonFactory->create()->setData($childrenData);
          }
          }
