Computed properties shouldn’t be sending values to the server. They are used to calculate values based on other values. For example, `area` would be computed based on `width * height`.

You should only submit data to the server when a user performs an action, for example hitting a “submit” button. You’d add an action to your controller or component, which would then send the AJAX request across.
