Create Folder in document Library using ECMA Script in SharePoint Hosted Apps

Hi All,

In a following post we will see how to create Folder inside Document Library using ECMA Script, following code has been written for SP Hosted Apps.

In My Page I have input Controls as follows, On clicking button I am crating folder with the name specified in Text Box.

       <div>

                        <p id="message">

                                    <!-- The following content will be replaced with the user name when you run the app - see App.js -->

                                    initializing...

                                    <input type="text" id="txtFolder"></input>

                                    <br></br>

                                    <input type="button" id="btnCreateFolder"    value="CrateFolder"></input>

                        </p>

            </div>

Below is the code in App.js

'use strict';

var SPAppWebUrl;

var spHostUrl;

(function () {

    // This code runs when the DOM is ready and creates a context object which is

    // needed to use the SharePoint object model

    $(document).ready(function () {

        spHostUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));

        SPAppWebUrl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl"));

        $('#btnCreateFolder').on('click', function () {

            CreateFolder($('#txtFolder').val());

        });

    });

    function CreateFolder(folderName) {

        var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();

        var parentContext = new SP.AppContextSite(context, spHostUrl);

        var web = parentContext.get_web();

        var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle("MyDocLib");

        var listItemCreationInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();

        listItemCreationInfo.set_underlyingObjectType(SP.FileSystemObjectType.folder);

        listItemCreationInfo.set_leafName(folderName);

        var newItem = list.addItem(listItemCreationInfo);

        newItem.update();

        context.load(web);

        context.load(list);

        context.executeQueryAsync(ExecuteOnSuccess, ExecuteOnFailure);

    }

    function ExecuteOnSuccess() {

        alert('folder created successfully');

    }

    function ExecuteOnFailure(sender, args) {

        alert('error' + args.get_message());

    }

    function getQueryStringParameter(urlParameterKey) {

        var params = document.URL.split('?')[1].split('&');

        var strParams = '';

        for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1) {

            var singleParam = params[i].split('=');

            if (singleParam[0] == urlParameterKey)

                return decodeURIComponent(singleParam[1]);

        }

    }

})();

Thanks.
