Conditions in Jade/Pug

I am wondering whether or not this is possible in some way with jade.

I want to check if 2 ID's match and show/not show some jade html.. For example in jade

if user.posts === post._id
<!--show this-->
else 
<!--don't show anything-->

The 'posts' of the user are an array of objectIds, I want to check if one of those Ids matches the Id of the current post (post._id)

I am unsure how to go about this and I cannot find anything on stack.

Pug in the end is javascript as well so comparing an object to a string of course will never be equal

You could maybe try Array.protoype.indexOf()
