How to use "ajax" with the "scaffold" of Ruby on Rails

Hi, I'm using (REACT and Ruby on Rails) together and ajax and scaffold together to make a POST , PUT , DESTROY , GET but at the time of doing the POST simply does not do anything, this is my code:

handleClick() {
        var name    = this.refs.name.value;
        var description = this.refs.description.value;
        $.ajax({
            url: '/items',
            type: 'POST',
            data: { item: { name: name, description: description } },
            success: (item) => {
                this.props.handleSubmit(item);
            }
        });
    }

Button:

<button onClick={this.handleClick}>Submit</button>

Controller:

class ItemsController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_item, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]

  # GET /items
  # GET /items.json
  def index
    @items = Item.all
  end

  # GET /items/1
  # GET /items/1.json
  def show
  end

  # GET /items/new
  def new
    @item = Item.new
  end

  # GET /items/1/edit
  def edit
  end

  # POST /items
  # POST /items.json
  def create
    @item = Item.new(item_params)

    respond_to do |format|
      if @item.save
        format.html { redirect_to @item, notice: 'Item was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @item }
      else
        format.html { render :new }
        format.json { render json: @item.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

  # PATCH/PUT /items/1
  # PATCH/PUT /items/1.json
  def update
    respond_to do |format|
      if @item.update(item_params)
        format.html { redirect_to @item, notice: 'Item was successfully updated.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @item }
      else
        format.html { render :edit }
        format.json { render json: @item.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

  # DELETE /items/1
  # DELETE /items/1.json
  def destroy
    @item.destroy
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to items_url, notice: 'Item was successfully destroyed.' }
      format.json { head :no_content }
    end
  end

  private
    # Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
    def set_item
      @item = Item.find(params[:id])
    end

    # Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
    def item_params
      params.require(:item).permit(:name, :description)
    end
end

The detail is that when you press submit you just reload the page and do not add anything. in console it does not show any error, and as I am new with ajax. that's why I ask you to help me.
