• Use [@Wasserman1994] notation instead of (@Wasserman1994)
• Use citation key as footnote identifier
• Add (Wasserman & Faust, 1994)[^Wasserman1994] instead of just [^1] (in case of numeric references being used/created elsewhere)
• Use Harvard bibliography format

Remark-bibtex is a remark plugin to generate footnoted citations from a bibtex file. It uses citation-js to load a specified .bib file from which citations will be retrieved and added to the markdown file's footnotes section.

Citation keys take the form of (@citationKey): where "citationKey" corresponds to a bibtex entry in the provided .bib file. The citation key will be replaced with a numbered footnote reference corresponding to the bibliography entry in footnotes section.

In order to work, this package has to be chained to the remark-footnotes package, which adds the necessary markdown footnoting capability.

So here is my citation (@Wasserman1994). End of story.

yarn add remark-footnotes @benchmark-urbanism/remark-bibtex

const remark = require('remark')
const footnotes = require('remark-footnotes')
const remarkBibtex = require('@benchmark-urbanism/remark-bibtex')

const bibtexFilePath = './example/example.bib'

remark()
  .use(footnotes)
  .use(remarkBibtex, { bibtexFile: bibtexFilePath })
  .process('Ref A: (@Harris2020) Ref B: (@Wasserman1994)')
  .then((content) => content.toString())
  .then((markdown) => console.log(markdown))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err))

Will give:
