+# ember/template-require-input-type
+
+🔧 This rule is automatically fixable by the [`--fix` CLI option](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/user-guide/command-line-interface#--fix).
+
+<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
+
+This rule rejects `<input type="...">` values that are not one of the input
+types defined by the HTML spec, and (optionally) requires every `<input>` to
+declare a `type` attribute.
+
+An invalid value like `<input type="foo">` silently falls back to the Text
+state — the browser reports no error, but the author's intent (validation,
+inputmode hint, platform keyboard) is lost. That's a genuine silent-failure
+class, which this rule always flags and auto-fixes to `type="text"`.
+
+A missing `type` attribute (`<input />`) is _spec-compliant_ — the
+missing-value default is the Text state — so flagging it is a style /
+consistency choice, not a correctness one. Opt in with `requireExplicit: true`
+if your team wants parity with `template-require-button-type`.
+
+## Examples
+
+This rule **forbids** the following (always):
+
+```hbs
+<input type='' />
+<input type='foo' />
+<input type='TEXTY' />
+```
+
+With `requireExplicit: true` the rule **also forbids**:
+
+```hbs
+<input />
+<input name='email' />
+```
+
+This rule **allows** the following:
+
+```hbs
+<input type='text' />
+<input type='email' />
+<input type='checkbox' />
+<input type={{this.inputType}} />
+```
+
+Dynamic values such as `type={{this.inputType}}` are not flagged at lint time.
+
+## Configuration
+
+- `requireExplicit` (`boolean`, default `false`): when true, also flag
+  `<input>` elements that have no `type` attribute. Auto-fix inserts
+  `type="text"`.
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  rules: {
+    'ember/template-require-input-type': ['error', { requireExplicit: true }],
+  },
+};
+```
+
+## References
+
+- [HTML spec — the input element](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#the-input-element)
+- Adapted from [`html-validate`'s `no-implicit-input-type`](https://html-validate.org/rules/no-implicit-input-type.html) (MIT).
