Drag and Drop zipped shapefile

TimWitt2

Hey everybody,

I was wondering if anybody has ever added the functionality of dropping a zipped shapefile into a map and then draw it. I know that the following drag and drop example exists Drag and drop to display data | ArcGIS API for JavaScript  but it does not include zipped shapefiles. There is also this example Add shapefile | ArcGIS API for JavaScript  that lets you add zipped shapefiles via multipart/form-data.

Maybe it is possible to populate the multipart/form-data via a drag and drop event?

Thanks,

Tim

I'm surprised nobody has tackled this problem yet
