create_collection_dbus_path


Description:

public async string create_collection_dbus_path (HashTable<string,Variant> properties, string? alias, CollectionCreateFlags flags, Cancellable? cancellable) throws Error

Create a new collection in the secret service, and return its path.

Using this method requires that you setup a correct hash table of D-Bus properties for the new collection. You may prefer to use [func Collection.create] which does handles this for you.

An alias is a well-known tag for a collection, such as 'default' (ie: the default collection to store items in). This allows other applications to easily identify and share a collection. If a collection with the alias already exists, then instead of creating a new collection, the existing collection will be returned. If no collection with this alias exists, then a new collection will be created and this alias will be assigned to it.

properties is a set of properties for the new collection. The keys in the hash table should be interface.property strings like `org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection.Label`. The values in the hash table should be [structGLib.Variant] values of the properties.

If you wish to have a

This method will return immediately and complete asynchronously. The secret service may prompt the user. [methodService.prompt] will be used to handle any prompts that are required.

an alias to check for before creating the new collection, or to assign to the new collection
