javascript jquery underscore.js visibility

I tend to have a lot of these in my code

if(shouldElementBeVisible)
    $element.show()
else
    $element.hide()

Is there any more elegant way packaged with javascript, jquery, or underscore? Ideally I want something that looks like this

$element.showOrHideDependingOn(shouldElementBeVisible)

Apparently you can just pass a boolean to the toggle function

$element.toggle(shouldElementBeVisible)
