Can I two way bind a model property in ember without a template for the component?

I have a simple ember component

import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Component.extend({
    tagName: 'input',
    type: 'text',
    attributeBindings: ['value', 'type']
});

I'm trying to "not" require a template (on purpose) ... but when I remove the template it no longer binds back to the controller (here was the template I had)

{{input value=value}}

... it doesn't update the model/or controller (simple controller below)

import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
    number: ''
});

Here is the working jsbin to show the issue

note: if you add the template it works ... but I'd like to build this/bind this without having to require my own template ships with the ember-cli addon
