How to import addon into its dummy app in Ember?

Question

I am new to Ember and have started to build an addon. Currently, I want to build the addon and implement it in an application inside its dummy application (path: tests/dummy/app).

My addon has a component which I want available in the dummy project.

How can we include the addon inside the dummy project ?

(I am using ember version: 1.13.0)

If you have defined your component in the addon/components folder and exported it in the app/components folder you should be able to use it in the dummy folder — Henry Vonfire

In your addon, if you define addon/components/my-component.js and you re-export it in app/components/my-component.js, then you should be able to use it normally in the dummy app like {{my-component}}.

Note that the ember-cli component generator handles the file locations for you. e.g running $ ember g component my-component would yield the files I mentioned above.

Also, you addon project should also be generated using ember-cli using $ ember addon addon-name.
