Box node API Can get folder info but cannot create folder - box-api

Question

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong in the auth cycle but I keep getting 500s, and the messages are pretty vague.
So, I'm calling box from my node server. First I create a client:
const sdk = new BoxSDK({
clientID: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
appAuth: {
keyID: process.env.PUBLIC_KEY_ID,
privateKey: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, process.env.PRIVATE_KEY_PATH)),
passphrase: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE,
},
});
app.use((req, res, next) => {
req.sdk = sdk.getAppAuthClient('user', process.env.BOX_USER_ID);
next();
});
Once I've created the client I trigger a request:
export function yearEnd(req, res) {
req.sdk.folders.create({
name: 'test',
parent: {
id: '0',
},
}, (e, r) => {
if (e) {
return res.send(e);
}
return res.status(201).send(r);
});
}
The response I get back is:

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong??

Answer 1

So, the docs and the method signature don't match. I had to go into the package and check the code by hand. To create, it's:
req.sdk.folders.create(<parent_id>, <folderName>, (e, r) => {...});
