Usage

npm i nast-util-from-notionapi

Also need notionapi-agent to retrieve raw data from Notion's API.

npm i notionapi-agent

require this module,

const { getOnePageAsTree, getAllBlocksInOnePage } = require('nast-util-from-notionapi')

Example

const fs = require('fs')

const NotionAgent = require('notionapi-agent')
const { getOnePageAsTree, getAllBlocksInOnePage } = require('nast-util-from-notionapi')

/* Configure NotionAgent's options */
const options = {
  token: '',
  suppressWarning: false,
  verbose: true
}
const agent = new NotionAgent(options)

async function main() {
  try {
    /* Fill in a page ID */
    let pageID = ''
    let tree = await getOnePageAsTree(pageID, agent)
    let rawBlocks = await getAllBlocksInOnePage(pageID, agent)
    fs.writeFileSync(
        `PageTree-${pageID}.json`,
        JSON.stringify(tree),
        { encoding: 'utf-8' }
    )
    fs.writeFileSync(
        `RawBlocks-${pageID}.json`,
        JSON.stringify(rawBlocks),
        { encoding: 'utf-8' }
    )
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error)
  }
}

Code Structure

Generated by dependency-cruiser NPM package.

Notice

Before NAST is redesigned to have better representation of links and references, alias blocks (created by "Link to page" since some day in June or July, 2021) are dereferenced to page blocks, transclusion_container block and transclusion_reference block are dereferenced to their content.
