There is also ember-auto-import, which allows you to import any standard JS lib.

I don’t fully understand. The exact suggestion that you made actually does work (and has for a long time), are you saying that we should do that by default, something else?

Oh! Is it documented somewhere? I read through the extending docs. They discuss using the main property, but not ember-addon.main.

Authoring a pure-JS module and using ember-auto-import is a great start.

One thing that I'd like to be able to do is export a function for pure-JS users and that same function wrapped in a Helper for Ember users:

// addon/my-function.js
export default function(…) { … }

// addon/helpers/my-function.js
import { helper } from '@ember/component/helper'
import myFunction from '../my-function'

export default helper(myFunction)

// index.js
export default {
  myFunction: require('./addon/my-function')
}

// ember-addon.js
export default {
  name: 'my-package'
}

We are working on closing the ember-cli/rfcs repo in favor of using a single central RFC's repo for everything. This was laid out in https://emberjs.github.io/rfcs/0300-rfc-process-update.html.

Sorry for the troubles, but would you mind reviewing to see if this is still something we need, and if so migrating this over to emberjs/rfcs?
