How to pass value to a onclick function in (Jade)pug?

Question

I am new to jade and stuck on this issue. I think I have tried everything from the StackOverflow posts and still at nothing.

The things I have tried

Answer 1

When adding attributes to an html element, you are already within the scope of pug, so you can just use pug variables like regular js variables.

button(type='button' class=' c-btn-blue c-btn-circle c-btn-uppercase' value="Read More" onclick='gotoBlog(' + val.link + ')')

Answer 2

I came across a similar issues and solved it rather differently (by escaping params). In my case, I needed to pass the following template values to a javascript function as argument when a button is clicked

{
  url:"http://google.com",
  token: "Bearer your-token", 
  accountId: "abc123"
}

So the pug in my case looked as follow

button(onclick='authenticate(\'' + url + '\',\'' + token + '\',\'' + accountId + '\')') Login

And the resulting html is as follow

<button onclick="authenticate('http://google.com','Bearer your-token','abc123')">Login</button>
