ORCID Utils
Library to manipulate ORCID identifiers. Allows validation of identifiers based on their check-digit, and to format a provided identifier into a number of potentially useful formats.
Designed to be used as either a require-able module, or as
a standalone object that can be imported into a normal HTML page.
Node Installation
npm install orcid-utils --save
Example Node Usage
const ORCID = require('orcid-utils');
const orcidNumber = '0000-0000-0000-0001';
if (ORCID.isValid(orcidNumber)) {
console.log(ORCID.toDashFormat(orcidNumber));
// 0000-0000-0000-0001
console.log(ORCID.toNoDashFormat(orcidNumber));
// 0000000000000001
console.log(ORCID.toUriWithoutProtocol(orcidNumber));
// orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0001
console.log(ORCID.toUriWithProtocol(orcidNumber));
// https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0001
// toUriWithProtocol also takes a boolean parameter that
// specifies whether the URI should use https or not.
console.log(ORCID.toUriWithProtocol(orcidNumber, true));
// https://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0001
console.log(ORCID.toUriWithProtocol(orcidNumber, false));
// http://orcid.org/0000-0000-0000-0001
// Validation can also be done as a side effect:
ORCID.validate(orcidNumber)
// passes silently
ORCID.validate('xxxxx')
// throws
}Node Testing
Testing is performed using the jest package, and is aliased
to the test script.
npm test
Example Browser Usage
<html>
<head>
<script src="lib/orcid.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="orcidTextInput">
<input type="button" onClick="validateAndLog();">
<script>
var validateAndLog = function validateAndLog() {
var orcidNumber = document.getElementById('orcidTextInput').value;
if (ORCID.isValid(orcidNumber)) {
console.log(ORCID.toDashFormat(orcidNumber));
// 0000-0000-0000-0001
// All the other examples from above work here too!
} else {
console.log('Not Valid');
}
};
