How To Create A Document Library Using CSOM For Content Editor WebPart Using JavaScript

In this article, we will explore how to create a document library step by step using JavaScript.

 

Why we create CEWP

 

So that we can utilize the client-side computing by using CSOM.  

 

Let's start step by step.

Step 1

Save the below script as a text file and upload it to in Site Assets page.

 

Step 2

Add Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) to your SharePoint site page. Create site page >> add CEWP in your page -

 

1 Click "Insert" option

2. Select "Media and Content".

3. Select Content Editor > Edit web part.

 

Step 3

Pass this script file's reference in your CEWP.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        SP.SOD.executeFunc('sp.js', 'SP.ClientContext', createDocLib);
    });

    function createDocLib() {
        // Below we will pass Get Client Context and Web Object
        var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();
        var oWeb = clientContext.get_web();
        //Create Library Creation Information and add it to List Collection
        var libraryCreationInfo = new SP.ListCreationInformation();
        libraryCreationInfo.set_title('My Test Library');
        libraryCreationInfo.set_description('This is a Test Library Using CEWP');
        libraryCreationInfo.set_templateType(SP.ListTemplateType.documentLibrary);
        var oListColl = oWeb.get_lists().add(libraryCreationInfo);
        //how to Load Client Context and Execute batch below
        clientContext.load(oListColl);
        clientContext.executeQueryAsync(QuerySuccess, QueryFailure);
    }

    function QuerySuccess() {
        console.log(" congratYour Document Library created successully.");
    }

    function QueryFailure(sender, args) {
        console.log('Request failed - ' + args.get_message());
    }
</script>

My OUTPUT looks like the below screenshot. 

 

 

Try it in your environment.

 

Soon, we will create more CSOM real-world scenario. So, stay tuned and follow me.
