This the same as in standard JavaScript DOM event call. If you want to call a returned function in JS, you can do: <button onclick="getFunction()()">. Similar behaviour in Vue (and Nue)

Its a typo then?

    onclick="addFruit"

is not the same as

    onclick="addFruit()"

The onclick="addFruit" calls an instance method between the inner script tags. Similar to how JS would call a global window.addFruit with a similar syntax.

Keyword being "similar", as in, not the same. Its neither the behaviour of html onclick attribute, nor dom onclick attribute.
