I am trying to Move folder to different location within Document library using REST API. What i have done is:- I have created SharePoint add-in through which i want to move folder from one location to another location in SharePoint Document Library.
Is there any method similar to "moveto()" method Specified here for moving folder or any other way to do the same using REST API.
thanks in advance
We can use SP.MoveCopyUtil.moveFolder method to move the specified folder to the destination.
Example code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function moveFolder(){
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function(){
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
SP.MoveCopyUtil.moveFolder(context,"https://mytestsite.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/Folder1/Folder2/Active/02_NamedFolder","https://mytestsite.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/Folder1/Folder2/Inactive/02_NamedFolder");
context.executeQueryAsync(function(){
alert("success.");
},function(sender, args){
alert('request failed ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
});
}, "sp.js");
}
</script>
<input type='button' onclick="moveFolder()" value="Move Folder"/>
