Ember CLI import ES6 file to ember-cli-builds.js

So the ember-cli-builds.js file clearly states

// If the library that you are including contains AMD or ES6
// modules that you would like to import into your application
// please specify an object with the list of modules as keys
// along with the exports of each module as its value.

I'm importing regular javascript files this way

app.import('vendor/global.js');

but what is the proper way to "specify an object with the list of modules as keys along with the exports of each module as it's value"?

The selector answer is for older ember, pre ember-auto-import (webpack), and pre Ember Octane.

In modern ember, after npm installing a package, you'll be able to import directly from that package.

Example:

npm install qs

then anywhere in your app

import qs from 'qs';

related, it is recommended to avoid placing files in the vendor folder that you want to integrate with the module system. the vendor exists outside of the bundle, so if you have a standalone module, you can place it in your app folder, maybe under some descriptive folder: app/external-modules/global.js, allowing you to import from it like:

import * as globalStuff from '<my-app>/external-modules/global';

At the "AMD Javascript modules" heading of the guides, it is described like that:

Provide the asset path as the first argument, and the list of modules and exports as the second.

app.import('bower_components/ic-ajax/dist/named-amd/main.js', {
  exports: {
    'ic-ajax': [
      'default',
      'defineFixture',
      'lookupFixture',
      'raw',
      'request'
    ]
  }
});

You can now import them in your app. (e.g. import { raw as icAjaxRaw } from 'ic-ajax';)
