Description
Hi,
I need to perform some minor formatting on my data before outputting the cell contents. For example I need to write timestamps in a more compact form, output numbers in engineering format, etc... without the need to instantiate a fully fledged component...
To me the proper place would be in the template, however I find it difficult to case/switch within the cell component (also because of handlebars lack of such constructs).
How would approach this kind of situations? Would you still use a custom component to render the cell?

Research direction
Review ember-table's cell rendering and template usage to determine how formatting is currently handled. Compare the requested timestamp and engineering-number formatting with the limitation around conditional logic in Handlebars. Done would be a documented, agreed-upon approach for formatting cell contents without requiring a fully fledged custom component.
