### Examples

### createFolder
```javascript
import { folders } from '@wix/autocms-folders-service';

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

### createFolder (with elevated permissions)
```javascript
import { folders } from '@wix/autocms-folders-service';
import { auth } from '@wix/essentials';

async function myCreateFolderMethod(options) {
  const elevatedCreateFolder = auth.elevate(folders.createFolder);
  const response = await elevatedCreateFolder(options);

### createFolder (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/autocms-folders-service';
// 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 createFolder(options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.folders.createFolder(options);
};
```
