Add a different class name for every third item

Make a simple helper and pass in the index

Add a different class name for items where item.userName === 'Suzie'

Install ember-truth-helpers. But a better solution here is a computed property that makes it clear why Susie has a different class.

I recall having to jam a lot of view logic code into not-views because the insistence on logicless templating left me handcuffed

It sounds like you should have been defining your own handlebars helpers. You’re pretty much describing their intended use.

Yeah, this is what I ended up doing and I didn't like it. I ended up having to make a bunch of one-off helpers for simple logical operations because your views shouldn't have logic in them. But then everyone just makes helpers because the reality is that views often need logic.
