JSON parsing error for rendered output

I’m having trouble using citation.js to convert CSL JSON to rendered citations. Converting to bibtex works as expected.

Based on https://runkit.com/larsgw/591b5651bd9b40001113931c, I get the following results:

const Cite = require("citation-js")

const data = new Cite([{"id":78,"type":"article-journal","title":"Identification of Positive Regulators of the Yeast Fps1 Glycerol Channel","container-title":"PLoS Genet","page":"e1000738","volume":"5","issue":"11","source":"PLoS Genet","journalAbbreviation":"PLoS Genet","author":[{"family":"Beese","given":"Sara E."},{"family":"Negishi","given":"Takahiro"},{"family":"Levin","given":"David E."}]}])

data.get({
  type: 'html',
  style: 'bibtex'
})

gives

@article{BeeseIdentification,

    author={Sara E. Beese and Takahiro Negishi and David E. Levin},
    journal={PLoS Genet},
    issue=11,
    pages={e1000738},
    title={{Identification of Positive Regulators of the Yeast Fps1 Glycerol Channel}},
    volume=5,

}

In contrast,

const Cite = require("citation-js")

const data = new Cite([{"id":78,"type":"article-journal","title":"Identification of Positive Regulators of the Yeast Fps1 Glycerol Channel","container-title":"PLoS Genet","page":"e1000738","volume":"5","issue":"11","source":"PLoS Genet","journalAbbreviation":"PLoS Genet","author":[{"family":"Beese","given":"Sara E."},{"family":"Negishi","given":"Takahiro"},{"family":"Levin","given":"David E."}]}])

data.get({
  type: 'html',
  style: 'citation-apa'
})

gives the error

SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0

(see https://runkit.com/5af4a2c58a83410012ddbf47/5af4a2d65bba2900126994f2#)

If I use new Cite('Q21972834') instead of using raw CSL-JSON as input both work. Any idea what’s going on here?

Here’s a demo on how to use the RIS output BTW: https://runkit.com/larsgw/citation.js-ris-output-demo

Basically this:

Cite(...).get({
  format: 'string',
  type: 'string',
  style: 'ris'
})

Or, with the new API:

Cite(...).format('ris')

Additionally, you can pass parameters:

Cite(...).format('ris', {
  type: 'text' // alternative: 'object' gives you an object representation
})

I released the v0.4.0-3 beta with RIS support, the CDN should load up soon:
