Usage

Usage: citation-js [options]

Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number

-i, --input Input file. If all input options are omitted, it uses stdin
-t, --text Input text. If all input options are omitted, it uses stdin
-u, --url Deprecated in favor of -t, --text. If all input options are omitted, it uses stdin
-o, --output Output file (omit file extension). If this option is omitted, the output is written to stdout
--pipe Pipe and transform from stdin to stdout

-R, --output-non-real Output as a text file
-f, --output-type Output structure type: string, html, json (default: "json")
-s, --output-style Output scheme. A combination of --output-format json and --output-style citation- is considered invalid. Options: csl (Citation Style Lanugage JSON), bibtex, citation- (where * is any formatting style) (default: "csl")
-l, --output-language Output language. RFC 5646 codes (default: "en-US")

--log-level Log level: silent, error, warn, info, debug, http (default: "warn")

--plugins Plugin names (@citation-js/plugin-NAME); bibjson, bibtex, csl, doi, ris & wikidata are preloaded (default: [])
--plugin-config @plugin.property.path=value;... (default: [])
--formatter-options property.path=value;... (default: [])

--no-input-generate-graph Do not include the parsing graph in CSL output
--input-force-type Force parsing as a certain type
--input-max-chain-length Set the maximal number of parsing iterations
--no-input-strict Do not use the strict parsing mode
--input-target Stop parsing when a certain type is reached

Input

Input can be read from stdin, passed as a file with -i, --input or, for simple IDs, as plain text with -t, --text or the deprecated alias -u, --url.

$ echo "Q30000000" > input.txt

$ cat input.txt | citation-js
[{"title": "The Synergistic Activity ...", ...}]

$ citation-js --input input.txt
[{"title": "The Synergistic Activity ...", ...}]

$ citation-js --text Q30000000
[{"title": "The Synergistic Activity ...", ...}]

Output

The CLI outputs to stdout by default, but can write to a file with the -o, --output option.

$ citation-js --text Q30000000
[{"title": "The Synergistic Activity ...", ...}]

$ citation-js -t Q30000000 -o output
$ more output.json
[{"title": "The Synergistic Activity ...", ...}]

> Note: the file extension is determined automatically, and should therefore be omitted in the -o option. To force a file extension, simply omit -o and redirect stdout to the preferred file.

Output Format

To format the output, use the -R, -s, -f and -l options. These options map to the old output options.

| CLI option | Default value | Other values |
|-------------------------|------------------|----------------------|
| -R, --output-non-real | omitted (real) | present (string, plain text) |
| -f, --output-type | json | json, string |
| -s, --output-style | csl | citation-*, bibtex, bibtxt, data |
| -l, --output-language | en-US | es-ES, fr-FR, du-DU, nl-NL |

For example, to format doi:10.5281/zenodo.1005176 in French in the APA format:

$ citation-js -t 10.5281/zenodo.1005176 -f string -s citation-apa -l fr-FR
