+# ember/template-no-action
+
+<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
+
+Disallows the use of `{{action}}` helper.
+
+The `{{action}}` helper is deprecated in favor of the `{{on}}` modifier and `{{fn}}` helper, which provide better performance and clearer intent.
+
+## Examples
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <button {{on "click" (action "save")}}>Save</button>
+</template>
+```
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  {{action "doSomething"}}
+</template>
+```
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <button {{on "click" this.save}}>Save</button>
+</template>
+```
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  <button {{on "click" (fn this.save "arg")}}>Save with arg</button>
+</template>
+```
+
+```gjs
+<template>
+  {{this.action}}
+</template>
+```
+
+## Migration
+
+- Replace `(action "methodName")` with method references or `(fn this.methodName)`
+- Replace `<button onclick={{action ...}}>` with `<button {{on "click" ...}}>`
