+  This utility function is used to declare a given component has no backing class. When the rendering engine detects this it
+  is able to perform a number of optimizations. Templates that are associated with `templateOnly()` will be rendered _as is_
+  without adding a wrapping `<div>` (or any of the other element customization behaviors of [@ember/component](/ember/release/classes/Component)).
+  Specifically, this means that the template will be rendered as "outer HTML".
+
+
+  In general, this method will be used by build time tooling and would not be directly written in an application. However,
+  at times it may be useful to use directly to leverage the "outer HTML" semantics mentioned above. For example, if an addon would like
+  to use these semantics for its templates but cannot be certain it will only be consumed by applications that have enabled the
+  `template-only-glimmer-components` optional feature.
+
+  @example
+
+  ```js
+  import templateOnly from '@ember/component/template-only';
+
+  export default templateOnly();
+  ```
+
+  @public
+  @method templateOnly
+  @param {String} moduleName the module name that the template only component represents, this will be used for debugging purposes
