### Examples

### createModifierGroup
```javascript
import { itemModifierGroups } from '@wix/restaurants';

async function createModifierGroup(modifierGroup) {
  const response = await itemModifierGroups.createModifierGroup(modifierGroup);
};
```

### createModifierGroup (with elevated permissions)
```javascript
import { itemModifierGroups } from '@wix/restaurants';
import { auth } from '@wix/essentials';

async function myCreateModifierGroupMethod(modifierGroup) {
  const elevatedCreateModifierGroup = auth.elevate(itemModifierGroups.createModifierGroup);
  const response = await elevatedCreateModifierGroup(modifierGroup);
}
```

### createModifierGroup (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 { itemModifierGroups } from '@wix/restaurants';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

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


async function createModifierGroup(modifierGroup) {
  const response = await myWixClient.itemModifierGroups.createModifierGroup(modifierGroup);
};
```
