Here’s an example of a Computed Property from a PR I recently submitted to Ebsy’s excellent National Flags plugin: [discourse-nationalflags/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/user-nationalflags-preferences.js.es6 at master · Ebsy/discourse-nationalflags · GitHub](https://github.com/Ebsy/discourse-nationalflags/blob/master/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/user-nationalflags-preferences.js.es6)

Here’s one (“_showTimezones_”) that is actually used to hide/show in a template: [https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-team-timezones/blob/master/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/team-display.js.es6](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-team-timezones/blob/master/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/team-display.js.es6)

but you’ll find tonnes of great patterns in our plugins: [Pavilion · GitHub](https://github.com/paviliondev)
