How to have if "string === string" in template?

[JQ331]

Thanks for this–it helps clarify a lot.

Haven’t quite gotten it to work yet–in part bc I’m not finding examples out there of using computed properties to do this kind of operation.

So say you have a template under templates/components/my-component.hbs . You’d have to use the JS file components/my-component.js to do the computation.

In my case, in my plugin, I am making the change in the group index template. So in the file: plugin/assets/javascripts/discourse/groups/index.hbs (I just put the entire groups index code there and add changes on top of it.)

Do you mean that the computed property js would go in a file I create that is: plugin/assets/javascripts/discourse/groups/index.js? Or can I just put that code in an initializer?

@justin

export default Component.extend({
  @discourseComputed("string1", "string2")
  property(string1, string2) {
    return string1 === string2;
  }
});

This is my best attempt to implement what you are talking about–is this what you had in mind:

js:

export default Component.extend({
  @discourseComputed("group.name", "Amazing_Name")
  property(group.name, Amazing_Name) {
    return group.name === Amazing_Name
  }
})

hbs:

 {{#if property}}
    <div>Yep There is a Match!</div>
 {{/if}}

Or did you mean that I should literally enter general values like “string1” and “string2” in @discourseComputed, and then change the template to {{#if property group.name "Amazing_Name"}} ? (only that way could I account for each value being dynamic in the template.)

Haven’t gotten either approach to quite work yet.

Thank you for your help.
