### createFolder
```javascript
import { siteFolders } from '@wix/sites';

async function createFolder(options) {
  const response = await siteFolders.createFolder(options);
};
```

### createFolder (with elevated permissions)
```javascript
import { siteFolders } from '@wix/sites';

  const elevatedCreateFolder = auth.elevate(siteFolders.createFolder);

### createFolder (self-hosted)

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { siteFolders } from '@wix/sites';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { siteFolders },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function createFolder(options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.siteFolders.createFolder(options);
};
```
