you can do exactly that, they just wanted to showcase the methods option. often you would switch true to false doing:

`@click="isSomething = !isSomething"`

Exactly this. Template directives support a lot of JS functionality (while not encouraging it, like JSX does). That said, except in rare, extremely simple cases I still prefer wrapping that logic in a computed property or method, as it will inevitably grow more complex later.
