### Examples

### Update a folder's location (with $w)
This code is an example of a page on which a visitor chooses a folder from a dropdown list, and then creates a folder within that folder.

```javascript
/******************************************
 * Backend code - create-folder.web.js/ts *
 *****************************************/

import { Permissions, webMethod } from '@wix/web-methods';
import { folders } from '@wix/media';
import { auth } from '@wix/essentials';

export const listFolders = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async () => {
  try {
    const elevatedListFolders = auth.elevate(folders.listFolders)
    const foldersList = await elevatedListFolders();

    return foldersList;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
});

export const updateFolder = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async (id, options) => {
  try {
    const elevatedUpdateFolder = auth.elevate(folders.updateFolder);
    const updatedFolder = await elevatedUpdateFolder(id, options);

    return updatedFolder;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
});

/*************
 * Page code *
 ************/

import { updateFolder, listFolders } from 'backend/create-folder.web';

$w.onReady(async () => {
  await populateFoldersDropdowns();

  $w('#updateFolderLocation').onClick(async () => {
    const folderId = $w('#updateFolderDropdown').value;
    const parentFolderId = $w('#parentFolderDropdown').value;
    if (folderId === parentFolderId) {
        $w('#folderIsParentFolderMsg').show();
        return;
    };
    const options = {parentFolderId};
    const updatedFolder = await updateFolder(folderId, options);

    console.log(`Successfully updated folder ${updatedFolder.displayName}:`, updatedFolder);
    $w('#updateFolderSuccessMsg').show();
  });
});

async function populateFoldersDropdowns() {
  const folderList = await listFolders();
  const dropdownOptions = folderList.folders.map((folder) => {
    return {
      label: folder.displayName,
      value: folder._id
    };
  });

  $w('#updateFolderDropdown').options = dropdownOptions;
  $w('#parentFolderDropdown').options = dropdownOptions;
};

```

### Update a folder's name (with elevated permissions)
```javascript
import { folders } from '@wix/media';
import { auth } from '@wix/essentials';

const elevatedUpdateFolder = auth.elevate(folders.updateFolder);

/* Sample id value: '7984b3c5454e4371aqbd4f4eedde96bc'
 *
 * Sample folder value:
 * {
 *   displayName: 'mountains'
 * }
 */

async function myUpdateFolderFunction(id, options) {
  try {
    const updatedFolder = await elevatedUpdateFolder(id, options);

    console.log(`Updated folder ${updatedFolder.displayName}:`, updatedFolder);
    return updatedFolder;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
}

/* Promise resolves to:
 * {
 *   "_createdDate": "2023-08-21T09:32:34.000Z",
 *   "_id": "7984b3c5454e4371acbd4f4eedde96bc",
 *   "_updatedDate": "2023-08-21T11:10:51.000Z",
 *   "displayName": "mountains",
 *   "parentFolderId": "103601562ec94214bee61f470b403dd5",
 *   "state": "OK"
 * }
 */
```

### Update a folder's name
```javascript
import { folders } from '@wix/media';

/* Sample id value: '7984b3c5454e4371aqbd4f4eedde96bc'
 *
 * Sample folder value:
 * {
 *   displayName: 'mountains'
 * }
 */

async function myUpdateFolderFunction(id, options) {
  try {
    const updatedFolder = await folders.updateFolder(id, options);

    console.log(`Updated folder ${updatedFolder.displayName}:`, updatedFolder);
    return updatedFolder;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
}

/* Promise resolves to:
 * {
 *   "_createdDate": "2023-08-21T09:32:34.000Z",
 *   "_id": "7984b3c5454e4371acbd4f4eedde96bc",
 *   "_updatedDate": "2023-08-21T11:10:51.000Z",

 *   "parentFolderId": "103601562ec94214bee61f470b403dd5",
 *   "state": "OK"

 */
```

### updateFolder (self-hosted)
Self-hosted SDK calls require you to [create a client](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/work-with-the-sdk/about-the-wix-client.md).

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

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


async function updateFolder(_id,folder) {
  const response = await myWixClient.folders.updateFolder(_id,folder);
};
```
