I've been looking for information on how I can send a client side variable to the server side using JavaScript. I'm a beginner and working on my first full stack web app and essentially i want to do something like this;

var userInput = $('#location-city').val();

This is taking in the value of a <input id="location-city"> in my html file on the client side.

I want to send this variable userInput to the server side where I use it with an API in the following manner:

baseUrl + userInput

This would add the userInput (which would be a city) to the baseUrl of my API and then return locations in a certain city. The reason why my API needs to stay on server side is because I'm using secret id's and tokens.
