Get All List Templates in SharePoint using REST API

The example in this topic show how to use REST API to Get All List Templates in SharePoint

REST-API is based on OData (Open Data) Protocol and hence it doesn't require any dll or JS library to run the commands on the SharePoint objects.
REST-API calls require proper end-point URL and proper Header implementation in your REST call.

How to use SharePoint REST API?

Note: This is just a sample, you can go ahead with your implementation.
You can also use this method in your SPFx Component.
Open your Site. Create a webpart page.
Put a Content Editor Web part and a Script Editor Web part on it.

Webpart page content editor and scipt editor

I have added below Html in Content Editor webpart. You can replace MainFunction with your actual method name.
<button onclick="MainFunction();" type="button">Click me</button>
And below references in Script Editor Webpart. ScriptFile.js is a JavaScript file where you can keep below function i.e. your actual logic.
<script src="https://MyServer/sites/SiteCollection/style library/js/ScriptFile.js"></script>
Once you are done with setting your page, click on the button and your method should get executed.

function GetAllListTemplatesFromSite()
{
$.ajax
({
// _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl - will give absolute URL of the site where you are running the code.
// You can replace this with other site URL where you want to apply the function
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/ListTemplates/",
type: "GET",
headers:
{
// Accept header: Specifies the format for response data from the server.
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
},
success: function (data, status, xhr) {
var dataresults = data.d.results;
for (var i = 0; i < dataresults.length; i++)
{
console.log("List Template Name - " + dataresults[i].Name);
}
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
console.log("Failed");
}
});
}
