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

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

Error

1:8 Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

Changing it to !{val.link}

Error

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token .

Changing it to "!{val.link}" and "#{val.link}" just gives me string understandably so. BTW val.link is a string

Just giving val.link says Uncaught ReferenceError: val is not defined

I am out of options now. Help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Too late but most of the options above didn't work for me but this did

button(onclick='gotoBlog('+'"'+val.link+'"'+')')

or simpler:

onclick=`gotoBlog('${val.link}')`

Basically converts val.link to a string.
