Create google sheets on team drives through API's - google-sheets

Question

Below code creates a google sheet on My Drive but what if I had to place this to a folder on team drive?
I would like to modify createNewSpreadSheet function in such a way that it uploads file to specified folder of team drive.
function createNewSpreadSheet(auth) {
const sheets = google.sheets({version: 'v4', auth});
const resource = {
properties: {
title:'SampleSheet'
},
};
sheets.spreadsheets.create({
resource,
fields: 'spreadsheetId',
}, (err, spreadsheet) =>{
if (err) {
// Handle error.
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log('spreadsheet::',spreadsheet.data.spreadsheetId);
}
});
}
// Load client secrets from a local file.
fs.readFile('credentials.json', (err, content) => {
if (err) return console.log('Error loading client secret file:', err);
// Authorize a client with credentials, then call the Google Sheets API.
authorize(JSON.parse(content), createNewSpreadSheet);
});

You may check this blog on how to import/upload files to Team Drives folders.
Uploading files to a Team Drives folder is also identical to to uploading to a normal Drive folder, and also done with DRIVE.files().create(). Importing is slightly different than uploading because you're uploading a file and converting it to a G Suite/Google Apps document format, i.e., uploading CSV as a Google Sheet, or plain text or Microsoft Word® file as Google Docs. In the sample app, we tackle the former:
def import_csv_to_td_folder(folder_id, fn, mimeType):
body = {'name': fn, 'mimeType': mimeType, 'parents': [folder_id]}
return DRIVE.files().create(body=body, media_body=fn+'.csv',
supportsTeamDrives=True, fields='id').execute().get('id')
The secret to importing is the MIMEtype. That tells Drive whether you want conversion to a G Suite/Google Apps format (or not). The same is true for exporting. The import and export MIMEtypes supported by the Google Drive API can be found in my SO answer here.
