Here’s my the button

```plaintext
    buttons.push(this.attach('button', {
      label: 'log_in',
      className: 'btn-primary login-button',
      action: 'showLogin'
    }));

```

How do I add this code to it

```plaintext
.setAttribute('onclick', "ym(XXXXXXXX, 'reachGoal', 'login_button'); return true;")

```
