I customize a dashboard page and I put a submit button on it.How can I use the Javascript monitor the button's click to send a request to Splunk and have Splunk execuse a SPL?

This is my Js code:

 

require([
	"jquery",
], function ($) {
	$(document).on('click', '#btn_submit',
		function () {
			setTimeout(function time() {
				var temp_a = document.getElementById('temp_a').value
				var temp_b = document.getElementById('temp_b').value
			},
				100);
		});
});

 

and the dashboard source code is:

 

<dashboard script="test.js">
    <label>test_js_action</label>
    <row>
        <panel>
            <html>
                <div>
                    <button id="btn_submit">submit</button>
                </div>
            </html>
        </panel>
    </row>
</dashboard>

 

By the way, I saw a sample using the splunkjs/mvc to send request ,but I cant't get whole code. only know the Js head is:

 

require([
	"jquery",
	"splunkjs/mvc",
	"splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!"
], function ($, mvc) {

 

Thank you very much if you could provide a solution.🌹

    'jquery',
    'splunkjs/mvc',
    "splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager",
    'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'
], function (_, $, mvc, SearchManager) {

    var mySearch = new SearchManager({
        id: "mysearch",
        autostart: "false",
        search: '| makeresults | eval test = "This is test" ',
        preview: false,
    }, { tokens: true, tokenNamespace: "submitted" });

    var mySearchResults = mySearch.data("results");
    mySearchResults.on("data", function () {
        resultArray = mySearchResults.data().rows;
        console.log("My Data", resultArray);
    });

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#btn_submit").on("click", function () {
            // Capture value of the Text Area
            console.log("button clicked");
