Creating a List in SharePoint using ECMA Script

In this post, I will explain how to create a list in SharePoint using ECMA script. Use the ListCreationInformation object to define list properties and then pass this object to add (listCreationinformation object).

<script type="text/ecmascript">

function createSPList()

{

  var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();

  var oWeb=clientContext.get_web();

  var listCreation = new SP.ListCreationInformation();

  listCreation.set_title('My Custom List');

  listCreation.set_templateType(SP.ListTemplateType.genericList);

  listCreation.set_description('List created using ECMA Script');

  this.oList = oWeb.get_lists().add(listCreation);

  clientContext.load(oList);

  clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,this.OnSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this,this.OnFailure));

  }

function OnSuccess()

{

 alert(oList.get_title() + ' created.');

 }

function OnFailure(sender, args)

{

 alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());

  }

 </script>
