develop-import-translator

Prerequisites

Fetch and read the Zotero translator documentation:

• https://www.zotero.org/support/_export/raw/dev/translators
• https://www.zotero.org/support/_export/raw/dev/translators/coding

Also read index.d.ts for type definitions.

Step 1: Gather information

1. Label: The format name (e.g. "My Custom JSON")
2. Creator: The author's name
3. Example data: A sample of the format to import

Look for existing import translators that handle similar formats:

grep -l "detectImport\|doImport" *.js
