List 'created by' in column - sharepoint

Question

I know there is surveylist.get_description and surveylist.get_itemCount. I would like to know if there is a way to get created by fit in a column?

Answer 1

From syntax i guess you are using Javascriot CSOM.
Try this:
surveylist.get_author
Don't forget that you need to explicitly specify which properties you want to retrieve before you can get their values.

Answer 2

Unfortunately List Author property is not exposed via SharePoint CSOM.
How to retrieve List Author property via CSOM?
The idea is to retrieve SPList.SchemaXml property and extract Author property
function getListAuthor(listTitle,OnSuccess,OnError) {
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle(listTitle);
context.load(web);
context.load(list,'SchemaXml');
context.executeQueryAsync(function(sender,args){
var schemaXml = $.parseXML(list.get_schemaXml());
var authorId = parseInt($(schemaXml).find('List').attr('Author')); //SchemaXml contains Author ID only
var listAuthor = web.getUserById(authorId);
context.load(listAuthor);
context.executeQueryAsync(OnSuccess(listAuthor),OnError);
},OnError);
}
//Usage
getListAuthor('Discussions List',
function(author){
console.log('List created by: ' + author.get_loginName())
},
function(sender,args){
console.log('Error occured:' + args.get_message());
}
);
