get a value from 1 to 5 with stars

i'm working on a ratings project, where I need to get values from 1 to 5 represented with stars. in my code I already have the design working.

How can I get a value to then save with POST?

when marking the stars i need to obtain a value and then save it with the POST method.
PD: i am working with laravel 8

const ratingStars = [...document.getElementsByClassName("rating__star")];
const ratingResult = document.querySelector(".rating__result");

printRatingResult(ratingResult);

function executeRating(stars, result) {
   const starClassActive = "rating__star fas fa-star";
   const starClassUnactive = "rating__star far fa-star";
   const starsLength = stars.length;
   let i;
   stars.map((star) => {
      star.onclick = () => {
         i = stars.indexOf(star);

         if (star.className.indexOf(starClassUnactive) !== -1) {
            printRatingResult(result, i + 1);
            for (i; i >= 0; --i) stars[i].className = starClassActive;
         } else {
            printRatingResult(result, i);
            for (i; i < starsLength; ++i) stars[i].className = starClassUnactive;
         }
      };
   });
}

function printRatingResult(result, num = 0) {
   result.textContent = `${num}/5`;
}

executeRating(ratingStars, ratingResult);
