How to make ajax or axios call in jsx cep

Question

I'm currently working in CEP panel and I have a JSX file.

I'm wondering is there away I can make an ajax call or axios cal from with in this jsx?

If so how would I import jquery into it for the ajax call or require the axios module? Is that even possible?

You guessed it right that it won't be possible out of the box on the jsx side. Some points with noting are

Jsx is meant to work on the native app DOM like Illustrator, InDesign etc. So it does not come with support for webapi's like ajax
Jsx is based on a very old standard of ECMA script, so many language features are also missing so intergrating a new library into it is a chore in itself.

So as you rightly guessed the recommended way would be making these calls on the js side and then so it to jsx side
