Add/Insert Record with Javascript via POST?

[KeithFraley]

I am trying to figure out the best way to add a record via pure javascript.  I think the only way to accomplish this is doing to AGS via the REST api.

Does anyone have a working example of this?

Thanks!

The easiest way would be to use the JS API's feature layer and applyEdits():  http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi/featurelayer.htm#applyEdits

You could hit the REST endpoint directly to insert your features but why reinvent the wheel?

Hi,

In order to POST request to add feature using applyEdits method, you need to use proxy file which is provided by ESRI.
