What i want to achieve is to create a folder(main folder) then create subfolders within the main folder.

I have tried the code below but doesnt seem to work. It doesnt create the main folder at all.

Please help. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

What I have tried:

function createFolder(){

var folder_path;
var mainFolder ="PQ";
var subfolder = ["ITT Files", "Tender Checklist", "Working Files", "Pre-Clarification Files", "Technical Proposal", "Commercial Porposal","Post Bid Clarification"];

for ( var i = 0, l = subfolder.length; i < l; i++ ) {

folder_path= mainFolder+'/'+subfolder[i];
return $.ajax({
url: "https://XYZ.sharepoint.com/TEST/_api/Web/Folders/add('TenderFilesUpload/"+mainFolder+"/"+subfolder[i]+"')",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
headers: {
"X-RequestDigest": formDigest,
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose"
},
success: function(data){
console.log("Folder Created!!!");
},
error: function(data, errCode, errMessage) {
swal( 'Create Folder!', errMessage , 'error'
);console.log(data);console.log(errCode);console.log(errMessage);
}

});

}

}

Can you tell TenderFilesUpload is document library or any other list? I have checked your code with document library. It will work if PQ folder is already exists.

Hi,
Try updating rest call syntax.

JavaScript

var serverRelativeUrlToFolder = "Document Library/"+"FolderName";//For Main folder FolderName would be blank
var FolderName ="FolderName";//New Folder Name that to be created
$.ajax({
	url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('" + serverRelativeUrlToFolder + "')/folders",
	method: "POST",
	body: "{ '__metadata':{ 'type': 'SP.Folder' }, 'ServerRelativeUrl':'" + FolderName + "' }",
	async: false,
	headers:
	{
		"accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
		"content-type": "application/json; odata=verbose",
		"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
	},
	success: function (data) {
		console.log("Folder Created");
	},
	error: function (data) {
		console.log("Error In Folder Creation" + data.body);
	}
});

function createFolder(){

var folder_path;
var mainFolder ="FolderNmae";
//var mainFolder ="FolderName/Subfoldername"; //create folder in subfolder
var subfolder = ["ITT Files", "Tender Checklist", "Working Files", "Pre-Clarification Files", "Technical Proposal", "Commercial Porposal","Post Bid Clarification"];

for (i=0;i<subfolder.length;i++) {

folder_path= mainFolder+'/'+subfolder[i];
$.ajax({
url: "siteurl/sites/sitename/_api/Web/Folders/add('libraryname/"+mainFolder+"/"+subfolder[i]+"')",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
headers: {
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose"
},
success: function(data){
console.log("Folder Created!!!");
},
error: function(data, errCode, errMessage) {
console.log(errCode);
}
});

}
