Zotero utility code

Zotero Utilities

Zotero utility code common across various codebases such as the Zotero client, Zotero translation architecture and others.

Item utility functions require:

• Calling Zotero.Schema.init(json) with the JSON from schema.json from Zotero schema repo
• Calling Zotero.Date.init(json) with the JSON from resource/dateFormats.json
• Loading resource/zoteroTypeSchemaData.js before cachedTypes.js or in Node.js running

    let CachedTypes = require('./cachedTypes')
    CachedTypes.setTypeSchema(require('./resource/zoteroTypeSchemaData'))

• Implementing Zotero.localeCompare(); a simple implementation would be

    let collator = new Intl.Collator(['en-US'], {
      numeric: true,
      sensitivity: 'base'
    });
    Zotero.localeCompare = (a, b) => collator.compare(a, b);

Please bundle the Zotero schema file with your repository, do not load it remotely.

To run tests: npm i && npm test.
