In this blog we will learn about how to check if a particular folder is present in a Sharepoint list using JSOM.

 

Code Snippet

function FolderExists(sitecollectionURL,ListNameTitle,folderName)
{
                var deferred = $.Deferred();
                var ClientContext = new SP.ClientContext(sitecollectionURL);
                var web = ClientContext.get_web();
                var ListName = web.get_ListNames().getByTitle(ListNameTitle);
                var FolderCamlQuery = "<View Scope='RecursiveAll'><Query><Where><And><Eq><FieldRef Name='FSObjType' /><Value Type='Integer'>1</Value></Eq>"+
                "<Eq><FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>" + folderName + "</Value></Eq></And></Where></Query></View>";
                var query = new SP.CamlQuery();
                query.set_viewXml(FolderCamlQuery);
                allItems = ListName.getItems(query);
                ClientContext.load(allItems);

                ClientContext.executeQueryAsync(
                                Function.createDelegate(this,
                                                function () { deferred.resolve(allItems); }),
                                Function.createDelegate(this,
                                                function (sender, args) { deferred.reject(sender, args); }));
                return deferred.promise();
}



                FolderExists(url,ListNameName,folderName).then(function(FolderFound)
                {
                                if(FolderFound.get_count() == 0)
                                {
                                                console.log("No folder found");

                                }
                                else
                                {
                                    console.log("folder found");

                                }
                });

 Use the necessary Jquery.js and Jsom imports  before using this code. 

 

This code is very  straightforward if the condition FolderFound.get_count() >0 folder exists; otherwise the folder is not available.

 

That's it. Happy Coding :)
