+> disallow usage of button without an explicit type attribute
+
+- :exclamation: <badge text="This rule has not been released yet." vertical="middle" type="error"> ***This rule has not been released yet.*** </badge>
+- :gear: This rule is included in `"plugin:vue/recommended"`.
+
+Forgetting the type attribute on a button defaults it to being a submit type. 
+This is nearly never what is intended, especially in your average one-page application.
+
+## :book: Rule Details
+
+This rule aims to warn if no type or an invalid type is used on a button type attribute.
+
+<eslint-code-block :rules="{'vue/html-button-has-type': ['error']}">
+
+```vue
+<template>
+  <!-- ✓ GOOD -->
+  <button type="button">Hello World</button>
+  <button type="submit">Hello World</button>
+  <button type="reset">Hello World</button>
+
+  <!-- ✗ BAD -->
+  <button>Hello World</button>
+  <button type="">Hello World</button>
+  <button type="foo">Hello World</button>
+</template>
+```
+
+</eslint-code-block>
+
+## :wrench: Options
+
+```json
+{
+  "vue/html-button-has-type": ["error", {
+    "button": true,
+    "submit": true,
+    "reset": true
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+- `button` ... `<button type="button"></button>`
+    - `true` (default) ... allow value `button`.
+    - `false"` ... disallow value `button`.
+- `sumbit` ... `<button type="sumbit"></button>`
+    - `true` (default) ... allow value `submit`.
+    - `false"` ... disallow value `submit`.
+- `reset` ... `<button type="reset"></button>`
+    - `true` (default) ... allow value `reset`.
+    - `false"` ... disallow value `reset`.
