$(this).blestaRequest(
  'POST', 
  '/uri/path/to/post/to/', 
  $('#my-form').serialize(),
  function (data) {
	// Do something on success
  },
  function (data) {
	// Do something on error 
  },
  { dataType: 'json' }
);

I have no <form> as I am working on a very dynamic input on a page. Can I still use your code?

[Tyson]

A CSRF token is generated when the form is created using the Form component. If you're doing everything in JS, you need to fetch the CSRF token, either from another form on the page, or via an AJAX request that returns the CSRF token, and then add it to your form in the proper format.

Create an AJAX end-point that uses the Form component to create and return it. Take a look at the Form component class.
