Easiest for me would be an API like this:
Cite.plugins.config.get('@bibtex').strict = true
try {
let data = Cite.input(bibtex)
// valid
} catch (e) {
// invalid
}Do you have other ideas you'd like to share?
I'm currently a bit preoccupied with other things, so it might take a while until I have a patch, and more importantly a release. I'm probably able to work on things at the earliest in 2 weeks.

Can citation.js validate a bibtex file?
E.g. check if all required fields are available?
