How to check whether the folder name exists in file cabinet using suitescript 2.0

Question

I am creating folder to push monthly invoices through suitescript 2.0. I want to validate whether the current month's folder already created/exists, so that I can skip the folder creation code if it exists. As of now I am getting folder exists error

Answer 1

To verify if folder already exists in File Cabinet, you can create a search on recordType: folder.

eg.

search.create({
  type: 'folder',
  filters: [
    ['name', 'is', FOLDER_NAME], 
    'and', 
    ['parent', 'anyof', [PARENT_FOLDER_ID]]
  ]
}).run().getRange({ start: 0, end: 1 });

You can check NetSuite's Record Browser to get all valid search-filters and columns .
