CreateFolder Method

Creates a new folder resource.

Syntax

box.createFolder(folderName, parentId, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method creates a new folder resource named FolderName in the folder specified by ParentId. The Id of the newly-created folder resource is returned.

FolderName must be no longer than 255 characters; may not contain /, \, non-printable ASCII characters, or trailing whitespace; and cannot be one of the special names . or ...

ParentId can be empty, in which case the folder is created in the root folder.
