rehypeCitation options.noCite, rehype plugins options

[alexsalce]

Hi,

I am trying to display citations from my .bib file that aren't cited anywhere in the mdx blog body.
rehypeCitation documentation indicates this can be accomplished using the options.noCite option.
I'm not sure how to use the option, is there any straightforward way to utilize this option?
And maybe more generally, is there a way to use rehype plugins options? I may have missed some documentation.
Also, I'm still pretty new to nextjs/tailwind so I apologize if I am missing some common knowledge.

Thank you
Alex

options.noCite
Type: string[].

Citation IDs (@item1) to include in the bibliography even if they are not cited in the document.

In the rehypePlugins section of contentlayer.config.ts you can modify the line with rehypeCitation to something like:

[rehypeCitation, { path: path.join(root, 'data'), noCite: ['@Xie2016'] }]

And in my blog post yaml, I add a bibliography: references-data.bib line. This adds the Xie2016 bibliography reference to the blog post even if it is not cited. Note, this applies to all blog post that enable the bibliography option. If you want to control it at the post level, I could modify the plugin to do so similar to pandoc

@alexsalce try the updated version of rehype citation, v2.1.1. This supports customisation at the post level. You can add a noCite property to the frontmatter like the example below:

---
title: 'Release of Tailwind Nextjs Starter Blog v2.0'
date: '2023-08-05'
lastmod: '2023-08-05'
tags: ['next-js', 'tailwind', 'guide', 'feature']
draft: false
summary: 'Release of Tailwind Nextjs Starter Blog template v2.0, refactored with Nextjs App directory and React Server Components setup.Discover the new features and how to migrate from V1.'

bibliography: references-data.bib
noCite: ["@Xie2016"]
---

Or use noCite: ["@*"] to display everything without citing.
