How to upload a csv file into esri map with coordinates and plot in an esri map

Question

I have got a sample code to plot the points on an esri map using a csv file. But the csv file is maintained in a server, i'm unable to upload it from my local system.Please let me know how i can refer the csv file in my local system and plot the coordinates?

Simple Map html, body, #map { height: 100%; width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { background-color: #FFF; overflow: hidden; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; } var map, csv;

 require([
 "esri/map", 
 "esri/layers/CSVLayer",
 "esri/Color",
 "esri/symbols/SimpleMarkerSymbol",
 "esri/renderers/SimpleRenderer",
 "esri/InfoTemplate",
 "esri/urlUtils",
 "dojo/domReady!"
 ], function(
 Map, CSVLayer, Color, SimpleMarkerSymbol, SimpleRenderer, InfoTemplate, urlUtils
 ) {
 urlUtils.addProxyRule({
 proxyUrl: "/proxy",
 urlPrefix: "earthquake.usgs.gov"
 });
 map = new Map("map", {
 basemap: "gray",
 center: [ -60, -10 ],
 zoom: 4 
 });
 csv = new CSVLayer("http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_week.csv", {
 copyright: "USGS.gov"
 });
 var orangeRed = new Color([238, 69, 0, 0.5]); // hex is #ff4500
 var marker = new SimpleMarkerSymbol("solid", 15, null, orangeRed);
 var renderer = new SimpleRenderer(marker);
 csv.setRenderer(renderer);
 var template = new InfoTemplate("${type}", "${place}");
 csv.setInfoTemplate(template);
 map.addLayer(csv);
 });
</script>

Answer 1

there is a published sample in the ArcGIS API for JavaScript Resource Center which demonstrates how end users can browse for a file on disc and plot it interactively.
