Button clicks in Jade
With this line:button(onclick='#{something()}') Click
you tell Jade that it should paste the content of the function into the value of the onclick attribute.
Just reference the function name:
button(onclick='something()') Click
But this won't work, because the function is only available in the Jade compile step.After this step the generated HTML has no access to the variables which was defined in Jade.
You need to include a JavaScript file or use the script tag:
script. var something = function() { console.log('something') }button(onclick='something()') Click
