Ajax call to USE-API script

I have an RTE in my dialog with a link plugin, that would update some values data-foo & data-bar and store them along as part of the anchor tag in a property on save. data-foo and data-bar are completely dependent upon the href value mentioned by user in the link dialog. To generate both the values, I have a logic built using a use-api script that has access to the ResourceResolver and Externalizer classes. Is it possible for us to send an ajax call or any other request to the server with the href value as argument from the dialog.

Hi,

You can make a call to sling servlet which will return the data attribute value

e.g. https://aemlab.blogspot.com/2019/07/aem-rte-custom-plugins-1.html

@premib  Did you try to make this ajax call from the same use-api script where you're creating data-foo & data-bar? That should have the href value already.

    @shelly-goel I do not understand why I should be making a call from the use-api script again to the same script. My intention here is to call the backend script from frontend javascript. is it possible?
