Updating PostgreSQL data in javascript where ajax URL contains a single quote

Modifying data in PostgreSQL in javascript where URL contains a single quote

What would be the best way to approach this problem?

In some of these approaches, success has been printed out but there is no change in the database.

In the case where there is no single quote success would print and the database will update as well.

Attempts

first_name = D'Angelo
first_name = D%27Angelo
first_name = D\'Angelo
first_name = 'D''Angelo'
first_name = D\\\'Angelo

database

 _______________________________
|first_name|last_name|is_present|
---------------------------------
| D'Angelo |Williams |  false   |
---------------------------------
| Georgia  | Fritz   |  false   |
---------------------------------
|   Luca   | O'Keefe |  false   |
 _______________________________

file.js

modify_student_data = "D'Angelo: Williams :false" //this attempt will work for the row that contains Georgia
first_name = "D'Angelo";
last_name = "Williams";
is_present = "true";
$.ajax({ url:'/data/student_attendance/' + modify_student_data + "*" + first_name + ':' + last_name + ':'+ is_present,
    success: function (result){
       console.log("Success");
    }
    error: function (er){
       console.log("error");
    }
});

desired outcome

 _______________________________
|first_name|last_name|is_present|
---------------------------------
| D'Angelo |Williams |   true   |
---------------------------------
| Georgia  | Fritz   |  false   |
---------------------------------
|   Luca   | O'Keefe |  false   |
