EBackend.CollectionBackend.create_resource
Description: Reference for EBackend.CollectionBackend.create_resource

### Virtual Method

# EBackend CollectionBackendcreate_resource

since: 3.6

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    create_resource (
      ECollectionBackend* backend,
      ESource* source,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description [src]

Asynchronously creates a server-side resource described by `source`. For example, if `source` describes a new calendar, an equivalent calendar is created on the server.

It is the implementor’s responsibility to examine `source` and determine what the equivalent server-side resource would be. If this cannot be determined without ambiguity, the function must return an error.

After the server-side resource is successfully created, the implementor must also add an `ESource` to `backend`‘s `ECollectionBackend:server`. This can either be done immediately or in response to some “resource created” notification from the server. The added `ESource` can be `source` itself or a different `ESource` instance that describes the new resource.

When the operation is finished, `callback` will be called. You can then call `e_collection_backend_create_resource_finish()` to get the result of the operation.
