Question

I've a requirement to check whether a documentset exists in Sharepoint 2013 Document Library.

I have a Document Library, it has a folder, and inside the folder there are a few DocumentSets, however I need to check whether a particular documentset exists by passing it a Title.

Url will looks like: /Library/Folder/Documentset_name

Can anybody offer a reference/solution for this?

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

You can use the SharePoint Api to achieve this.

Look at Api documentation.

You will get all files with metadata in json format with

http:///_api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl('/')/files

After that you can check if the response contains your filename.

An even better solution is to use the filter function in the request.
