My scenario is, I need to create Enterprise keyword column in SharePoint host web list using SharePoint hosted app.

After google search, I found that. We have more articles to add the enterprise keyword column using SP object mode but using JavaScript I couldn’t find. I hope the following explained solution is very useful to you,

Implementation

  1. //Varibles Declaration
  2. var appWebURL, hostWebURL, appCtxSite, context;
  3. // This code runs when the DOM is ready and creates a context object which is needed to use the SharePoint object model
  4. $(document).ready(function ()
  5. {
  6. hostWebURL = decodeURIComponent(manageQueryStringParameter('SPHostUrl'));
  7. appWebURL = decodeURIComponent(manageQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
  8. AddEnterpriseColumnsToList();
  9. });
  10. //Add column to list
  11. function AddEnterpriseColumnsToList()
  12. {
  13. //get app content site using hostweb URL
  14. var appCtxSite = new SP.AppContextSite(context, hostWebURL);
  15. //Get Web using appcontext site
  16. var web = appCtxSite.get_web();
  17. //get task list from web
  18. var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle('Tasks');
  19. //Get Enterprise column from site
  20. var field = context.get_site().get_rootWeb().get_fields().getByInternalNameOrTitle("TaxKeyword");
  21. //Add Enterprise field to List
  22. list.get_fields().add(field);
  23. context.load(list);
  24. context.executeQueryAsync(function ()
  25. {
  26. //Success method
  27. console.log("Field added successfully!!")
  28. }, function (sender, args)
  29. {
  30. //Error method
  31. console.log("List Items failed" + args.get_message());
  32. });
  33. }
  34. //Get value from Query string
  35. function manageQueryStringParameter(paramToRetrieve)
  36. {
  37. var params = document.URL.split("?")[1].split("&");
  38. var strParams = "";
  39. for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1)
  40. {
  41. var singleParam = params[i].split("=");
  42. if (singleParam[0] == paramToRetrieve)
  43. {
  44. return singleParam[1];
  45. }
  46. }
  47. }
Note: Make sure to refer the taxonomy.js file in aspx page.
