How to call the a predefined function on click of a context menu?

I have added a context menu item on a page for my add-on. On click of this context menu item i want one of my predefined function to be executed but am unable to figure out a way for it

This is the code for context menu

var contextMenu = require("sdk/context-menu");
var menuItem = contextMenu.Item({
  label: "Log Selection",
  contentScript: 'self.on("click", onClick);',
});

function onClick(state) {
//This function calls many other functions thus can not be defined locally
            console.log("onClick() called");
}

assuming that there is a function onClick() which needs to be called on click of the context menu. How to call onClick() function?

This should work for you. Modified from my extension which returns information on the clicked node.

function unassignUSER(upChange) {
    console.log("onClick() called");
}

var contextMenu = require("sdk/context-menu");
var menuItem = contextMenu.Item({
    label: "Log Selection",
    contentScript: 'self.on("click", function (node) {' +
                 '  var upChange = "data"' +
                 '  self.postMessage(upChange);' +
                 '});',
    onMessage: function (upChange) {
        unassignUSER(upChange);
    }
});
