Unable to pass data from jade to javascript

I am learning jade and following is my code snippet

extends layout


block content
  h1= title
  p Token is #{token.access_token}
      script(type='text/javascript')
          var tokenValue = JSON.parse(token);
          sayhi(tokenValue);

Inside my test.js I have

function sayhi(token) {
    console.log(token);
}

If I send a text from sayhi - it works perfectly but if i send tokenValue - I get following error:

unexpected text ;

A few issues that i see here.

  1. You need to define the script as a text block, using a period.
  2. token is currently a variable in Jade that needs to be encoded for JS, not decoded.
  3. You'll need to interlope token to the text block.

Final code:

block content
  h1= title
  p Token is #{token.access_token}
      script(type='text/javascript').
          var tokenValue = #{JSON.stringify(token)};
          sayhi(tokenValue);
