Here is the detailed documentation for the lists and their features.

There are multiple ways to create a list item, here I’m sharing the REST API Code.

Steps to Create the SP List Item

Follow the below listed steps to Create an item.

Step 1

Create one JS file or you can use the Content Editor Web Part.

Step 2

Below is the API to get the particular list, you can browse this URL in the browser to check whether the API is working or not.

https://sharepoint.com/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('samplelist')/items

Note

Replace your list name with “samplelist”.

Step 3

Refer to the jQuery in your HTML file or CEWP.

Use the below code to Create an item in a SharePoint list.

  1. 'use strict';
  2. ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(initializePage, "sp.js");
  4. function initializePage() {
  5. var siteURL;
  6. // This code runs when the DOM is ready and creates a context object which is needed to use the SharePoint object model
  7. $(document).ready(function() {
  8. var scriptbase = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl + "/_layouts/15/";
  9. CreateListItem();
  10. });
  11. //Retrieve list items from sharepoint using API
  12. function CreateListItem() {
  13. siteURL = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;
  14. console.log("from top nav - " + siteURL);
  15. var apiPath = siteURL + "/_api/lists/getbytitle(''samplelist'')/items";
  16. $.ajax({
  17. url: apiPath,
  18. type: "POST",
  19. headers: {
  20. Accept: "application/json;odata=verbose"
  21. },
  22. data: "{__metadata:{'type':'SP.Data.YourlistnameListItem'},Title:”Ur input "
  23. }
  24. ",
  25. async: false, success: function(data) {
  26. alert("Item is Created successfully!!");
  27. }, eror: function(data) {
  28. console.log("An error occurred. Please try again.");
  29. }
  30. });
  31. }
  32. }
