Creating a reusable button component in Angular

Question

I am trying to create a component in Angular 5 that will house a reusable template for a button. In different parts of my app buttons will call different functions, so I would like to be able to tell the given instance of the button what function to call. I know I could create an HTML tag for a button wherever I need it, but I was hoping I could create a reusable component so I can ensure formatting is consistent throughout the app.

Error

 Got interpolation ({{}}) where expression was expected at column 0 in 
        [{{functioncall}}]

Component

<div id = "button">
  <button type="button" class= "btn" (click) ="{{functioncall}}" >{{label}}</button>
</div>

And HTML

 import { Component, OnInit, Input } from '@angular/core';

    @Component({
      selector: 'app-button',
      templateUrl: './button.component.html',
      styleUrls: ['./button.component.css']
    })
    export class ButtonComponent implements OnInit {
      @Input() label:string;
      @Input() functionCall:string;

      constructor() { }

      ngOnInit() {
      }
    }

you have to use the @Output decorator to emit some event (from child to parent)

button.component.ts:

@Input() label: string;
@Output() onClick = new EventEmitter<any>();

onClickButton(event) {
    this.onClick.emit(event);
  }

button.component.html:

<div id = "button">
  <button type="button" class= "btn" (click)="onClickbutton($event)" >{{label}}</button>
</div>

parent.component.ts

label = "button label"

  functioncall(event) {
    console.log('functioncall', event);
  }

parent.component.html

<app-button (onClick)="functioncall($event)" [label]="label"></app-button>
