ember.js - Is it possible to pass conditionals or other javascript as arguments in ember handlebars?

Question

I would like to pass a true/false statement to my handlebars

{{Gd-text-input label="Specify" name="Specify" key="entry.810220554" hideIf="entry.18110 === "Client""}}

I would like hideIf to be true if the variable entry.18110 is set to "Client

First, add this somewhere -

Handlebars.registerHelper('ifEqual', function (var1, var2, options) {
    if (var1=== var2) {
        return new Handlebars.SafeString(options.fn(this));
    }
    return new Handlebars.SafeString(options.inverse(this));
});

Then..

{{#ifEqual entry.18110 "Client"}}
{{Gd-text-input label="Specify" name="Specify" key="entry.810220554" hideIf="true"}}
{{else}}
{{Gd-text-input label="Specify" name="Specify" key="entry.810220554" hideIf="false"}}
{{/if}}

This is pretty much the only way to do it, as the handlebars team has specifically left most logic out of the templates since it generally doesn't belong there. Which is debatable, as sometimes it makes things more complicated not to allow simple logic. But, this is very workaroundable.
