Facing problem with managing dependency with CLI

I’m trying to use Markdown-it in Ember Helper. First I installed it with Bower and tried to import it.

app.import('bower_components/markdown-it/dist/markdown-it.js');

In helper:

import MarkdownIt from "markdown-it";

This is showing error Could not find module: markdown-it. Then I tried to use Ember-browserify and install Markdown-it via npm. I tried to import it in helper

import MarkdownIt from "npm:markdown-it";

export default Ember.Handlebars.makeBoundHelper(function(input){
    var result = MarkdownIt.render(input);
    return new Ember.Handlebars.SafeString(result);
});

This is showing error TypeError: a.default.render is not a function.
