How can i call a javascript function from a file for pug?

Heres my code but removed some changed code to something smaller!

Javascript code: 

// /JS
function callme() {
var test = 1
alert(test);
}

Pug code:

// /first.pug
var funct = require('../JS');
button(onclick='clickme()') click   
script.
function clickme() {¨
// trying to call callme function from my javascript file but i really dont know how.
    callme();
}

Sorry about this question i dont use pug but this was already made with pug so i cannot go changing it since it has alot more code but didnt post all not needed code here.

Pug has no capability to directly run JavaScript. It is used to generate HTML.

You are already generating HTML with embedded client-side JavaScript.

You need to write the HTML to include the external JavaScript.

i.e. <script src="/url/to/JS.js"></script>

In Pug that would be:

script(src="/url/to/JS.js")

Make sure your HTTP server gives the JS a public URL!
