Generate Helper handlebars in ember-cli

Question

I have followed the ember guide to create an handlebar helper like in this jsbin

This is the helper

Ember.Handlebars.registerBoundHelper('format-date', function(format, date) {
  return moment(date).format(format);
});

I can successfully reuse in my jsbin but i get an error when i apply the same helper in my application, this is the error Uncaught TypeError: fn.apply is not a function in my helper function , i am not implementing it correctly in my ember-cli

This is the same helper in my application

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Handlebars.registerBoundHelper('format-date', function(format, date) {
        return moment(date).format(format);
});

What's the problem?

I have also used makeBoundHelper instead of registerBoundHelper

Just to let you know i have generated the ember helper in these steps

1) From command prompt run ember generate helper "format-date"

This was the helper generated

import Ember from 'ember';

export function formatDate(params/*, hash*/) {
  return params;
}

I am definitely mistaking the way i am exporting the format-date helper

How it should be in my ember-cli?

P.s. I am still using Ember 1.12.0 , i have seen a similar issue here

it is definitely due to ember version that you are using, api have changed of making helpers, current 2.x api is most simplest Ember.Helper.helper(your helper code) if possible upgrade your ember — Bek

I had to update to Ember Version 1.13.7 and change the helper to this:

import Ember from 'ember';

export function formatDate(params) {
  var date = params[0];
  return moment(date).format('LLL');
}

export default Ember.Helper.helper(formatDate);
