I am looking at few PHP frameworks and noticed that they all offer re-usable, community-contributed code in various forms:
-Symfony 2 (bundles): http://knpbundles.com/
-Zend Framework 2 (modules): http://modules.zendframework.com/
-CakePHP (plugins): http://plugins.cakephp.org/
-Yii Framework (extensions): http://www.yiiframework.com/extensions/
but I can't find anything for Code Igniter (I saw in this SO post that Code Igniter used to have plugins that were replaced by helpers, but when I google for "Code Igniter helpers" or "Code Igniter plugins" I can't find any repositories).
What is the name for Code Igniter community-contributed and reusable libraries? Can you share a link to their main repository?

Plugins work almost identically to Helpers. The main difference is that a plugin usually provides a single function, whereas a Helper is usually a collection of functions. Helpers are also considered a part of the core system; plugins are intended to be created and shared by our community.
When assessing the two solutions, reviewers found CodeIgniter easier to use and set up. However, WordPress.org is easier to administer. Reviewers also preferred doing business with WordPress.org overall. Reviewers felt that WordPress.org meets the needs of their business better than CodeIgniter.
CodeIgniter is still exist but the name of this framework has become synonymous with a low-quality solution that is why we advise you Laravel as a better alternative. Both Laravel and CodeIgniter are open-source PHP framework.
CodeIgniter belongs to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack, while WordPress can be primarily classified under "Self-Hosted Blogging / CMS".
You can have a look at sparks and HMVC.

Also checkout their forums too.
The previous name plugin within codeigniter didn't really mean the same thing as plugins for Cake or Bundles for Symfony
