Parts of a DOI:

• Directory Identifier: 10
• Registrant code: . + 0-9{2,}
• Registrant subdivision (optional): . + 0-9+
• Suffix: / + any character, case insensitive for ASCII chars (but capitalised in the registry), with some characters that should be escaped

Usage

var doiRegex = require('doi-regex');

// contains a DOI
doiRegex().test('unicorn 10.1000/xyz000');
//=> true

// is a DOI address
doiRegex({exact: true}).test('unicorn 10.1000/xyz000');
//=> false

doiRegex.declared({exact: true}).test('doi:10.1000/xyz000');
//=> true

doiRegex.groups().test('10.1000/xyz1000.a001');
//=> ['10.1000/xyz1000', '10.1000/xyz1000', '.a001']

'unicorn 10.1000/xyz000 cake 10.1000/xyz001 rainbow'.match(doiRegex());
//=> ['10.1000/xyz000', '10.1000/xyz001']

API

doiRegex(options)

Returns a regex for matching a DOI.

doiRegex.declared(options)

Returns a regex for matching a DOI that has been declared with a doi: string in front.

doiRegex.groups(doi)

Returns a regex match object with a final string as the first two indices, and any suffixes that are commonly used for supplemental information if they are attached to the doi. For instance, 10.1000/journal.pone.0000000.g001 would return 10.1000/journal.pone.0000000 and .g001.

options.exact

Type: boolean
Default: false (Matches any DOI in a string)

Only match an exact string.
Useful with RegExp#test to check if a string is an DOI.

$ node cli-index.js -e 10.000/xyz1000
//=> true

Possible Flags:

• -e, --exact Find an exact match
