SharePoint Asked by KumarV on January 4, 2021
I have a custom page to upload file to document library. For example, if there are 10 person, so inside root folder, I have 10 folder for each person, Named as per the ID of the person. So while uploading, there is a textbox where I enter the ID of that person.
Now when I click on upload button, I need to check if the folder for that person exist in root folder. If it exist, I need to upload it there.
there are many root folders, so I need to check it in all those folders for the folder of that person exist.
function getFolderToUpload()
{
$.ajax({
async: false,
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('EmployeeDocumentList')/folders?$select=Name",
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
$(data.d.results).each(function(){ {
if(this.Name!="Forms")
{
CheckFolderExist();
}
}
});
},
error: function (data) {
alert("error checking folder exist");
}
});
}
By the code above, i get all the root folders, Now I need to check if a folder named test
exist in any of those folders. So I wanted to ask if there is any lambda expression kind of code that I can write to search this test folder in all those folders.
This query will let you know if the folder exists or not:
/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('<FolderName>/<NestedFolderName>')/Exists
The endpoint will return the 'Exists' property with a boolean value. Hope that helps!

/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('basepath/folderName')/ListItemAllFields
...if the above returns record, folder exists, otherwise it doesn't.

You can specify the full path to get the folder, i.e. GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('EmployeeDocumentList/folder/test')
instead of just grabbing the root and looping through. If you don't know where the folder is you could use a CAML query or even search to find it and then get it's URL.
