how to call esri Rest API (createFolder) with esriRequest (POST options)

[JamesMoloney2]

Hi all,

I am struggling to create a folder with javascript 4.14 calling esriRequest

Here is an example function I am trying to get working... (myuser is just for example purposes)

function createProjectFolder(folderName){

        var url = "https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/myuser/createFolder";

        var folderParams = {

            title: folderName

        };

        var headers = {

            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",

            "content-type": "multipart/form-data",

            "accept": "application/json"

        };

        esriRequest(url, {

            method: "post",

            headers: headers,

            content: folderParams,

            responseType: "json",

        }).then(function (response) {

            console.log(response);

        });

    };

I keep getting a these CORS errors

Can anyone shed some light on what I have to do to get this to work?

SOLVED IT!

This is for anyone else that may be spending the next 24hrs trying to work this out....

function createProjectFolder(folderName) {

        var url = "https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/yournameduserhere/createFolder";

        var folderParams = {

            folderName: folderName,

            title: folderName,

            f: "json",

            token: token

        };

        var encodedfolderParams = JSON_to_URLEncoded(folderParams);

        console.log(encodedfolderParams);

        var headers = {

            "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

        };

        esriRequest(url, {

            method: "POST",

            headers: headers,

            body: encodedfolderParams,

            responseType: "json",

        }).then(function (response) {

            // The requested data

            var geoJson = response.data;

            console.log(response);

        });

    };

you're welcome!
