## Create a Source

`stripe.createSource(element: object, sourceData: object)`

Use `stripe.createSource` to convert payment information collected by elements into a [Source](https://docs.stripe.com/api.md#sources) object that you safely pass to your server to use in an API call.
See the [Sources documentation](https://docs.stripe.com/sources.md) for more information about sources.

- `element`
  The [Element](https://docs.stripe.com/js/element.md) containing payment information.
If applicable, the `Element` pulls data from other elements you’ve created on the same [Elements](#elements_create) instance.

- `sourceData`
  A required object containing the `type` of `Source` you want to create, and any additional payment information that you have collected.
See the [Sources API](https://docs.stripe.com/api.md#create_source) reference for details.
