I have different sites like
http://SP.abc.com/SPSite1http://SP.abc.com/SPSite2http://SP.abc.com/SPSite3and each having one Library with the same name called Lib1. Now I want to get GUID of this library using jquery or using any other method that is on client side.
You can get it using REST query. The code should be:
$( document ).ready(function() {
GetListGuid('Lib1');
});
function GetListGuid(listTitle){
try {
//REST Query to get the List Title
jQuery.ajax(
{
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('"+listTitle+"')?$select=Id",
type: "GET",
async: false,
headers: { "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" },
success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
alert(data.d.Id);
},
error: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
console.error("Error.");
}
});
}
catch (ex) {
alert(ex);
}
}
Hope this helps!
Nice Solution added by @users1100 for SharePoint 2013.
You can try JSOM also. It will work for both 2010 & 2013.
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Name of List or Library');
clientContext.load(oList)
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(function() {
console.log(oList.get_id())
}, function() {
// error handler
});
On a page with the ListView WebPart displayed the listGUID is available as
ctx.listName
