Export Featureset to Hosted Feature Layer using ArcGIS JavaScript

[dgreenin]

Is it possible to export a featureset (resulting from a query) to a hosted feature layer in ArcGIS Online and/or an ArcGIS Enterprise Portal using ArcGIS JavaScript?

Potentially just need some clarification about what you're trying to do.
You can do a query against a feature layer and then just pipe those results into an ApplyEdits against another layer in your AGOL or Enterprise using Javascript if that's what you're asking.

@JamesIng Great mention.

It would be of interest to create a new hosted feature layer containing a featureset resulting from a query (in this case a spatial query).

If it is not possible to create a new hosted feature layer using ArcGIS JavaScript, using ApplyEdits to capture the resulting featureset would be of interest as well.

If you want to create a brand new feature layer or service you can't do that directly through the Javascript API.

Instead you'll want to use the REST API.

Once you have a hosted service you can then do a spatial query and do an applyEdits using the Javascript API from that query to your new service.

Thank you for the resources!

What might it look like to utilize the REST API within an ArcGIS JavaScript application to create a new hosted feature layer? Do you happen to have an example?
