How can I fire an HTTP request from a Phoenix component on-click?

I have a basic phoenix view which has a button. I want this button to fire a post request when clicking on it.

Also I have another component which should trigger a redirection on click and I also don’t know how to do that.

I can only find answers about how to fire an event from a live view… but I am not using a live view, I just want to make a regular HTTP request on click.

Is there a way to do this without having to write the JS by hand?

Thanks!

You should be able to use the Link component with method="post".

i.e. <.link href={...} method="post" ...>...</.link>

The link is to the LiveView docs but the <.link/> component should work in dead views as well.

Where Next?
