I'm wondering if anyone has been able to add a shapefile to a JS 4.2 app yet? I see the documentation for doing it in 3.19 (Add shapefile | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.19 ) and I've gotten this to work as a local demo project, but there are a few changes from 3.x to 4.x that seem to make this quite hard to do. Specifically, the esri/request has changed to no longer use a "form" parameter, so how do we upload the zipped shapefile now?
Ideally, I'd like to be able to add an in-memory instance of a shapefile from a database download as well as a user selected shapefile from their local machine. Anyone have some ideas on this? I'm starting to lean toward a third-party tool to parse out the geojson data from the shapefile and manually add in a new feature layer, but this seems like more work than should be necessary.
