C++ example

#include <iostream>

#include "independentsoft/graph/graph_client.hpp"
#include "independentsoft/graph/graph_exception.hpp"
#include "independentsoft/graph/sites/column_definition.hpp"

using namespace independentsoft::graph;
using namespace independentsoft::graph::sites;

int main()
{
    try
    {
        GraphClient client;

        client.client_id = "63333333-209e-454e-b7bd-55a4d201270f";
        client.tenant = "independentsoft.onmicrosoft.com";
        client.client_secret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

        ColumnDefinition column;
        column.name = "CustomField";
        column.display_name = "Custom Field";
        column.required = false;

        ColumnDefinition newColumn = sync_wait(client.create_column(column, "site-id-123"));

        std::cout << "Id = " << newColumn.id << std::endl;
        std::cout << "Name = " << newColumn.name << std::endl;
    }
    catch (const GraphException& ex)
    {
        std::cout << "Error: " << ex.code << std::endl;
        std::cout << "Message: " << ex.message << std::endl;
    }
