"The boss want's to dictate the folder (library / folder) Structure..."

Is there a 'verb' to add folders to a doc library list? If so, what is it? I don't see it listed but might be missing a naming convention here. -- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/site-design-json-schema

    PittSharePointPro  I know this is three years later - but for anyone searching for help....
    Adding a folder can now be completed in the subactions segment of a actions set. 

        "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
        "actions": [
            {
                "verb": "createSPList",
                "listName": "23",
                "templateType": 101,
                "addNavLink": true,
                "subactions": [
                    {
                        "verb": "setTitle",
                        "title": "23 Sales or Leasing"
                    },
                    {
                        "verb": "addFolder",
                        "path": "Disclosure Statement"
                    },
                    {
                        "verb": "addFolder",
                        "path": "Prices & Tracker"
                    }
                ]
            }
    .
    .
    .
    Note: The "Set Title" is handy to use to keep the URL length of the library name shorter, while still going and renaming the library to the way you want the library to be actually named. This avoids having any %20's in the url, or adding a library name that is too long. 

    Thanks and happy scripting!
