### Examples

### createCollection
```javascript
import { collections } from '@wix/portfolio';

async function createCollection(collection) {
  const response = await collections.createCollection(collection);
};
```

### createCollection (with elevated permissions)
```javascript
import { collections } from '@wix/portfolio';
import { auth } from '@wix/essentials';

async function myCreateCollectionMethod(collection) {
  const elevatedCreateCollection = auth.elevate(collections.createCollection);
  const response = await elevatedCreateCollection(collection);
}
```

### createCollection (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 { collections } from '@wix/portfolio';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

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


async function createCollection(collection) {
  const response = await myWixClient.collections.createCollection(collection);
};
```
