One approach to calling a JavaScript function from a Mustache template is to pre-render the template on the server side and include the function call within the rendered HTML.


For instance, if you have a Mustache template that looks like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
<script type="text/javascript">
  function myFunction() {
    // Do something
  }
</script>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>


You can include the pre-rendered HTML in your page and ensure that the myFunction() is accessible to be called when the button is clicked.


If you need to dynamically call a function from the template, you can store the function reference in a global object and access it from the template. For example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
<script type="text/javascript">
  window.myFunction = function() {
    // Do something
  }
</script>

<button onclick="window.myFunction()">Click me</button>


This way, the window.myFunction can be accessed from the Mustache template and called when the button is clicked. Remember to ensure that the function is defined and accessible in the global scope.
