The goal is to implement a parser which is 100% compatible with the [CSL 1.0.1](http://citationstyles.org/downloads/specification.html "CSL")standard, 100% clean OOP and follows the [PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md "PSR-2") coding standard. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Via [composer](http://getcomposer.org/ "composer") [](#via-composer) Add to the `composer.json` the `require` key and run composer install. ``` "require" : { "geissler/csl": "dev-master" } ``` ### Other [](#other) Make sure you are using a [PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md "PSR-2")compatible autoloader. Usage ----- [](#usage) Render a single bibliography entry. ``` // include the composer autoloader require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; use Geissler\CSL\CSL; // the name of the style you want to use $style = 'american-journal-of-archaeology'; // the data do be displayed as a json array $input = '[ { "id": "ITEM-1", "author" : [ { "family": "Wallace-Hadrill", "given": "Andrew" } ], "issued": { "date-parts": [ [ "2011" ] ] }, "title": "The monumental centre of Herculaneum. In search of the identities of the public buildings", "container-title" : "Journal of Roman Archaeology", "volume" : "24", "page" : "121-160", "original-publisher-place" : "Ann Arbor, Mich.", "type": "article-journal" } ]'; $csl = new CSL(); echo $csl->bibliography($style, $input); // this will output the following Wallace-Hadrill, Andrew. 2011. "The monumental centre of Herculaneum. In search of the identities of the public buildings". Journal of Roman archaeology 24: 121-160. ``` As HTML ``` Wallace-Hadrill, Andrew. 2011. "The monumental centre of Herculaneum. In search of the identities of the public buildings". Journal of Roman archaeology 24: 121-160. ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The following options can be configured via the `configuration.ini`: - locale-group - dir = Path to the locales files relative to the configuration.ini (standard: locale) - file = Filename of the language files, where LANGUAGE represents *de-DE*, *en-US* (standard: locales-LANGUAGE.xml) - dialects = A JSON array with the main dialects for languages spoken in more than one country. - styles-group - dir = Path to the styles dir relative to the configuration.ini (standard: styles) Styles and Locales ------------------ [](#styles-and-locales) The files under *styles* are taken from the [CSL styles repository](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles "CSL styles repository") and the files under *locales* are taken from the [CSL locales repository](https://github.com/citation-style-language/locales "CSL locales repository"). Tests and Comments ------------------ [](#tests-and-comments) [![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/7ddfd99ce9ad1f1a503899234b1815f2e8365d8f12a1723d7373d3130be97d5a/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f67656973736c65722f63736c2e706e67)](https://travis-ci.org/geissler/csl) Most of the examples for the phpunit-tests under *tests/src*, all files in *tests/citeproc-test* and some comments are taken/copied from [CiteProc Test](https://bitbucket.org/bdarcus/citeproc-test "CiteProc Test"), **"the standard test bundle for use in CSL processor and style development"** written by Frank G. Bennett, Jr. and Bruce D'Arcus. ### Health Score 20 — LowBetter than 13% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
