currentItem only exists while the repeater is creating its elements and not when the binding fires. Your solution is fine if it works for you. There are other options.
Always with repeater, for anything other than a very simple, non-interactive component, I advise creating a custom component and repeating that. Pass into that component a reference to the entire currentItem. You can now code normally, reference internal ids, dispatch events, provide a public data property that references the item, and avoid getRepeaterItem(). This would solve your issue, since your ternary expession would be referencing a local variable.
