Are you trying to add features into an existing Feature Class on Portal/AGOL, or create a brand new item with the shapefile? If the latter, I'm not sure if you can do it or not. If the former, I' had good luck with this sample from Esri: Create a FeatureLayer from a shapefile | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.15

The sample will show you how to get the file attached to a form's input field, submit the file to AGOL (or portal) using the /features/generate endpoint to transform the shapefile to a JS API compatible object, then transform it to a feature layer. From there, you'll have the data in the JS API and can add/update/delete whatever needs it.

Hope that helps.
