To use the Cite constructor, require() the module like this:

const {Cite} = require('@citation-js/core')

For example, to get the bibliographical data of the Wikidata item wd:Q21972834, and then format it in HTML, English and APA:

let example = new Cite('Q21972834')

let output = example.format('bibliography', {
  format: 'html',
  template: 'apa',
  lang: 'en-US'
})

console.log(output)

To test this code, go to RunKit.

Use the async API (recommended for Wikidata, URL, and DOI input) like this:

let example = await Cite.async('Q21972834')

let output = example.format('bibliography', {
  format: 'html',
  template: 'apa',
  lang: 'en-US'
})

console.log(output)

Cite.async() also supports options as the second argument, and a callback function as last argument.
