ember/template-no-action-on-submit-button

April 20, 2026 · View on GitHub

💼 This rule is enabled in the 📋 template-lint-migration config.

Disallow click action on submit buttons within a form.

In a <form>, all <button> elements with a type="submit" attribute (or no type, since buttons default to type="submit") should not have any click action. The action should be on the <form> element instead of directly on the button.

Rule Details

This rule disallows:

  • Using {{action}} or {{on "click"}} modifiers on submit buttons inside a <form>.
  • Using the HTML action attribute on submit buttons or <input type="submit"> elements.

Examples

<form>
  <button type='submit' {{on 'click' this.handleClick}} />
  <button type='submit' {{action 'handleClick'}} />
  <button {{on 'click' this.handleClick}} />
  <button {{action 'handleClick'}} />
</form>

Correct

<form>
  <button type='button' {{on 'click' this.handleClick}} />
  <button type='button' {{action 'handleClick'}} />
  <button type='submit' />
  <button />
</form>

Buttons outside a <form> are allowed to have click actions:

<button type='submit' {{on 'click' this.handleClick}} />
<button type='submit' {{action 'handleClick'}} />
<button {{on 'click' this.handleClick}} />
<button {{action 'handleClick'}} />
