Irtiza,

I assume you have already seem the KMLLayer class?

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-layers-KMLLayer.html

There is no way that I know of to upload a KML via a file selector dialog like is shown in that sample for a shapefile. The KMLLayer only accepts a url.

Ok. So can we modify the shape file sample and make it to upload kml instead of shape file.!!

Robert is correct. However a few workarounds were suggested in this thread that you can try:
