How-to create a database using the TerminusDB JavaScript Client

Create a Database

To create a database with an already connected client, you can write:

const createNewDB = async () => {
  try {
​
      await client.createDatabase('ExampleDatabase', {
          label: "ExampleDatabase",
          comment: "Created new ExampleDatabase",
          schema: true
      });
​
      console.log("Database created Successfully!")
​
  } catch (err) {
      console.error(err)
  }
};

After the database is created the client will be connected to it.
