SharePoint Online - Create list from custom template using csom / jsom

Question

I would like to create a list from custom template already available in the site. I tried following code -

     this.result = SP.ClientContext.get_current().get_site().getCustomListTemplates(SP.ClientContext.get_current().get_web());
SP.ClientContext.get_current().load(this.result);

function retrieveTemplates_fail() { }           
function retrieveTemplates_success()
{
    var en = this.result.getEnumerator();
    while (en.moveNext())
    {
        var item = en.get_current();
        if (item.get_name() === 'Template - Review Access')
        {           
            var listCreationInfo = new SP.ListCreationInformation();
            listCreationInfo.set_title('testfromtemplate1');
            //alert(item.get_featureId());
            //alert(item.get_listTemplateTypeKind());
            listCreationInfo.set_templateFeatureId('{00bfea71-de22-43b2-a848-c05709900100}');
            listCreationInfo.set_templateType('100');

            SP.ClientContext.get_current().get_web().get_lists().add(listCreationInfo);

            function createList_fail() { alert('fail') };
            function createList_success() { alert('success') };

            SP.ClientContext.get_current().executeQueryAsync(
                Function.createDelegate(this, createList_success), 
                Function.createDelegate(this, createList_fail)
            );
        }
    }
}

SP.ClientContext.get_current().executeQueryAsync(
    Function.createDelegate(this, retrieveTemplates_success),
    Function.createDelegate(this, retrieveTemplates_fail)
);

On executing the code I can only create list - Custom list with out the columns available in list template.

Can someone guide whats wrong in the code or provide any new code. Is json code available ?

Answer 1

You provided default template for custom list, that's why as a result you are having list without columns.

What you need to is to specify your custom template's type and feature id (you already has it commented):

listCreationInfo.set_templateFeatureId(item.get_featureId());
listCreationInfo.set_templateType(item.get_listTemplateTypeKind());
