To communicate with the Graph API, you need to first implement the ITokenProvider interface for authenticating the requests. The following is the basic implementation of ITokenProvider.
The following are the steps to create a folder using Microsoft Graph API in Java.
- First, get an instance of Microsoft Graph client using GraphClient.getClient(ITokenProvider) method.
- Then, call IGraphClient.createFolder(String) method to create the folder.
The following code sample shows how to create a folder using Microsoft Graph API in Java.
Create a Subfolder using Microsoft Graph API in Java
You can also create a subfolder in a similar way. The only difference is that you have to provide the root folder’s path as the first argument of the createFolder method. The following code sample shows how to create a subfolder using Microsoft Graph API in Java.
Update Folders using Microsoft Graph API in Java
You can also fetch and update an existing folder using Microsoft Graph API. For this, you have to get the list of folders and filter the required one. The following are the steps to update a folder using Aspose.Email for Java.
- First, get instance of Microsoft Graph client using GraphClient.getClient(ITokenProvider) method.
- Then, get list of all folders using IGraphClient.listFolders() method.
- After that, loop through all the GraphFolderInfo objects in the list and fetch the required one.
- Then, use GraphFolderInfo object to update the folder’s properties.
- Finally, update the folder using IGraphClient.updateFolder(GraphFolderInfo) method.
The following code sample shows how to update a folder using Microsoft Graph API in Java.
