[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["The function `ee.data.createAsset` creates an asset from a JSON value. It accepts a `value` object describing the asset and an optional `path` for the asset ID. The `force` argument allows overwriting, and `properties` sets asset metadata. A `callback` enables asynchronous operation. Without a callback, it returns an object describing the asset, including the ID. An empty image collection or folder can be created by using the values from ee.data.AssetType.\n"]]
