POST request to the backend service

MansiShah

Hello,

I am modifying an existing Web App Builder template and in order to complete the functionality of a widget I need it to make a connection to a backend service. When I pull up the service url, a form comes up that needs to be filled. I have the information for the form stored in a JSON. I want to pass that to the backend but I am getting errors on how to make the POST request. 

Here is what I've tried inside of a function: 

  $.ajax({

                method: "POST",

                url: "url to the backend service",

                data: jobIds,

                dataType: "json"
