Creates a folder from the specified path, including any missing parent folders. Folders that already exist are left as they are.
See also Path traversal
Parameters
folderPathstringrequiredFolder path to create, from the site root. Separate levels with /.
folderTypestringoptionalPath to a folder schema (for example "#/Schemas/Project"). Every folder this call creates gets this schema. Throws if the schema is not found (error 77) or is not a folder schema (error 78).
Returns
An object with Id, Guid and Name for the LAST folder this call created. Returns null when every folder in the path already existed — use getFolder to look the folder up in that case.
Example
Normal JavaScript, running in the browser or on the Docly™ server.
// Ensures the folder path exists, creating any missing levels
let created = docly.createFolder("folder 1/part 2/folder");
// created is null when the folder already existed
let folder = created || docly.getFolder("folder 1/part 2/folder");
write(folder.Guid);
