The `:new` route is to get the blank form, hence the `GET` HTTP request. While the `:create` route is to submit/post the completed form, hence the `POST` HTTP request.

If you’re on a relatively new version of Phoenix and ran `mix phx.gen.html ...`, you’d see a [form component](https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/Phoenix.Component.html#form/1-example-outside-liveview-regular-http-requests) with an action that points to a `:create` route.

```elixir
<.form :let={f} for={@changeset} action={Routes.comment_path(:create, @comment)}> # or action={~p"/comments"} if using verified routes
  <.input field={f[:body]} />
</.form>

```
