Module bibliography

Citations and bibliographies for docx documents: the sources a document refers to, such as books, articles and websites, citations of them in its text, such as "(Baker, 2010)", and a bibliography that lists them, in one of Word's styles of citation, such as APA, MLA or Chicago, as Word's References > Citations & Bibliography writes them.

Each citation and bibliography is written as Word writes it, so it looks the same in any app, and Word writes it again when it updates the document's fields, or when its style is changed in References > Style.

Citations and bibliographies come with the docx package, from docx/bibliography. Everything else, such as the document and its paragraphs, comes from docx. The sources go in the document's bibliography.

Example

import { Document, Packer, Paragraph, TextRun } from "docx";
import { Bibliography, Citation, CitationStyle, SourceType, createBibliography } from "docx/bibliography";

const doc = new Document({
  bibliography: createBibliography({
    style: CitationStyle.APA,
    sources: [
      {
        tag: "Bak10",
        type: SourceType.BOOK,
        authors: [{ lastName: "Baker", firstName: "Anna" }],
        title: "The Art of Pizza",
        year: 2010,
        city: "Naples",
        publisher: "Oven Press",
      },
    ],
  }),
  sections: [
    {
      children: [
        new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Pizza is older than it seems "), new Citation("Bak10")] }),
        new Bibliography({ title: "References" }),
      ],
    },
  ],
});

const buffer = await Packer.toBuffer(doc);
