Validate and normalize a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

Other projects I found that claim to be able to validate DOIs, normalize them, and format them as URI:
identifiers-doi
: Readme says it's only for ancient node versions. Also its only interface (as of v0.2.1) is.extract()
, no obvious way to validate and build a URI.doi-utils
: Seems rather battle-proven, has lots more tests, and can detect a much wider range of DOI-containing URIs.- Unfortunately, in versions ≥ 2.x, the author's ESM-only crusade got to
levels where my eslint is no longer able to verify that the dependency can
be resolved.
So I tried using the latest CJS version, but its export is wrapped in a
default
property and eslint says I cannot use destructuring inimport
statements. Thus, effectively, I would need almost as much code just for importing his package (either as ESM or CJS) as I had needed for the crappy draft implementation I made before I went searching for a pre-existing module.

This module exports an object that holds these properties and methods:
.doiNsBaseUri
A string with the author's latest recommended prefix for constructing a URI from a bare DOI. Currently, in violation of the DOI handbook, it is: https://doi.org/
.whyNotBareDoi(input)
If input
is a string with a bare DOI (10.xxx/xxx), return false
.
Otherwise, return an Error object describing a failed expectation.
.expectBareDoi(input)
If .whyNotBareDoi(input)
has a complaint, throw
it.
Otherwise, return input
.
.toBare(input)
Remove known namespace identifier prefixes from a DOI URI,
and validate (.expectBareDoi
) the remaining text.
.toUri(doi)
Convert any understood representation of a DOI to the recommended URI for that DOI.
