I have an express server that compiles handlebar files into html based on the route and I am using webpack to compile javascript files into one js file per page the user navigates to.
I am trying to access global functions that I defined in my javascript files from my html files to register onclick events and I can't seem to get it to work. The page loads fine
Here is the resulting HTML from the handlebars file:
<button onclick="OnButton_Open()">
Here is the function in the webpack compiled javascript:
OnButton_Open = function () {
here's my function
}
If I leave the function like above, the page loads, but when I click I get an error that it can't find OnButon_Open
.
window.OnButton_Open = function () {
here's my function with the global prefix
}
If I prefix the function with window.
which is what I thought that I had to do in this situation, I will actually get a reference error as the page loads that OnButon_Open
is not defined. This is what the resulting webpack code looks like at the spot where I get the error:
/* harmony export (immutable) */ __webpack_exports__["OnButton_Open"] = OnButton_Open;
Is there a better way to make those functions accessible to the outside world? I'd happily put everything in the global scope for now until I can modularize this app a bit more.
