I have an app.js file where I've declared a function like so:
function acceptReq(req, res)
db.getDB().collection(collection).findOneAndUpdate(
_id: ObjectId("5c94f444dab6e423a488d2ae")
,
$set:
requested: false,
requests:
user: undefined,
time: undefined
,
Booked: true
,
returnOriginal: false
, (err, result) = >
if (err)
console.log(err);
else
req.flash(
'success_msg',
'Request Accepted!'
);
res.redirect('/dashboard/requests')
);
I also have an ejs file in which I have a button that when clicked would execute this function in app.js:
<button onclick="acceptReq()" class="btn btn-success btn-block">Accept</button>
However, whenever I click the button, the file is not able to identify acceptReq().
How do I properly declare the function for ejs to read?

AFAIK you won't be able to. If you see the code acceptReq is most likely a API endpoint handler method, so you can probably define an API endpoint and use this as the handler and call that endpoint from by defining a function in javascript part of the ejs file and passing that function name in onclick of the button.
app.get('/update', function acceptReq(req, res)
db.getDB().collection(collection).findOneAndUpdate(
_id: ObjectId("5c94f444dab6e423a488d2ae")
,
$set:
requested: false,
requests:
user: undefined,
time: undefined
,
Booked: true
,
returnOriginal: false
, (err, result) =>
if (err)
console.log(err);
else
req.flash(
'success_msg',
'Request Accepted!'
);
res.redirect('/dashboard/requests')
);
);

so do you mean i declare the function twice? once in app.js and the other in the ejs?

@HusseinMenshawi Nope you need to define it only once, in app.js and in the ejs you can call this API using fetch function -- developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/03/introduction-to-fetch
