var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var http = new CkHttp();

// Use your previously obtained access token here:
http.AuthToken = "MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN";

// This example will create a new mail folder as a child of /Inbox/abc

// Get the existing folder ID from the folder map created by this example 
var htFolderMap = new CkHashtable();
var sbMap = new CkStringBuilder();
sbMap.LoadFile("qa_data/outlook/folderMap.xml","utf-8");
htFolderMap.AddFromXmlSb(sbMap);

var existingFolderId = htFolderMap.LookupStr("/Inbox/abc");
if (htFolderMap.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log("Folder ID not found");
    return;
}

// Create a JSON request body with this content:
// 
// 	{
// 	  "displayName": "displayName-value",
// 	}

// This example will create /Inbox/abc/subFolderC
var jsonRequestBody = new CkJsonObject();
jsonRequestBody.UpdateString("displayName","subFolderC");

http.SetUrlVar("folder_id",existingFolderId);

// Create the folder "subFolderC" at the specified location.
var resp = new CkHttpResponse();
success = http.HttpJson("POST","https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/{$folder_id}/childFolders",jsonRequestBody,"application/json",resp);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// A 201 response indicates success.
if (http.LastStatus == 201) {
    console.log("Folder created.");
}
else {
    console.log("Response status code = " + resp.StatusCode);
    console.log("Error: Folder not created.");
}

// Show the response in both cases..
var jsonResponse = new CkJsonObject();
jsonResponse.EmitCompact = false;
jsonResponse.Load(resp.BodyStr);
console.log(jsonResponse.Emit());

// A sample successful JSON response looks like this:
