Can't import helper functions to use functions from Components or Controllers

It would be really cool to be able to access these functions from my component logic rather than having to write new, redundant helpers.

Can the library be updated to export each of the helper functions so that I can import them like so:

import { ltHelper } from 'ember-truth-helpers/helpers/lt';

would allow me to access functions like ltHelper in my js code?

Primarily, but not exclusively. If I have to recreate the exact functionality of what a helper is doing as a controller or component function, then the helper is no longer DRY, reusable code, but duplicative code.

In the Ember slack channel I asked if Ember allowed for loading helper functions into other modules. @rwjblue answered that it should and recommended that I create a ticket here so we could look into what was happening. So that’s what I did.

If the answer is won't fix, that’s fine.

why have a helper at all?

because there is no < operator in Handlebars and helpers are primarily meant to be used in templates
