How to create a subsite with site template with REST api?

Question

I am having a site with some lists and libraries. I have saved this site a site template. Now I want to create a new sub site with programming. I know we can create from the user interface, but I want it from JavaScript REST/CSOM. Is it possible to do or no support for this kind of functionality? I am looking especially in SharePoint online version.

Answer 1

have a look at the link below. I have used it before on SharePoint Online. It deploys a new site with a custom site template whenever a new item is created.
