NPM

Features

• Supports notion-api-worker to render unsupported blocks of the Official API created by @splitbee
• Fast
• Customizable

Install

npm install vue-notion-render --save

Vue.js

in src/index.js file import the component and use Vue.component method.

    import Vue from "vue"
    import VueNotionRender from "vue-notion-render"
    Vue.component('VueNotionRender', VueNotionRender)

Nuxt.js

in order to use it with Nuxt.js create a Nuxt plugin.

1. in /plugins directory create a file vue-notion-render.js

   import VueNotionRender from 'vue-notion-render'
   import Vue from 'vue'
   Vue.component('VueNotionRender', VueNotionRender)

2. Register the plugin by adding the file in nuxt.config.js plugins array

       plugins: ['~/plugins/vue-notion-render.js']

Local Component

if you don't want to register the component globally you can use it locally in your component.

    <script>
         import VueNotionRender from "vue-notion-render"
         ...
         export default {
                 components: {
                     VueNotionRender,
                 },
         ...
     </script>

Usage

This package doesn't handle the communication with the API, therefore to learn more about the official API check out the official documentation.

Currently the Official API doesn't support all Notion blocks, a temporary solution is to use notion-api-worker a serverless wrapper for the private Notion API.

Using notion-api-worker

• Use the /v1/page/:id to retrieve page blocks
• Make sure to pass :unofficial="true" prop

<template>
  <vue-notion-render :unofficial="true" :data="data" />
</template>

<script>
...js
export default {
    ...
    data() {
        return {
        data: {}
        };
    },
    async created() {
        try {
            const data = await fetch("https://beta.notiontoblog.workers.dev/v1/page/f36a63918d1246909206813dcec928ea")
            this.data = await data.json()
        }catch(err){
            console.log(err)
        }
    }
};
</script>

Using The official API

https://developers.notion.com/reference/get-block-children

• Retrieve block children and pass the results array to data
• Make sure to pass :unofficial="false" prop

<template>
  <vue-notion-render :unofficial="false" :data="data" />
</template>

<script>
...
export default {
    ...
    data() {
        return {
            data: []
        };
    },
    async created() {
        // Retrieve block children and pass the results array to data
        // https://developers.notion.com/reference/get-block-children
    }
};
</script>

Custom Blocks

vue-notion-render let you use customized components to render some blocks, to do that

1. Register Components globally

Vue.js in main.js file register the components

import Vue from "vue";
import Component1 from "../components/component1.vue";
import Component2 from "../components/component2.vue";

Vue.component("Component1", Component1);
Vue.component("Component2", Component2);

Nuxt.js

1.create a plugin in /plugins directory and name it components.js

import Vue from "vue";
import Component1 from "../components/component1.vue";
import Component2 from "../components/component2.vue";

Vue.component("Component1", Component1);
Vue.component("Component2", Component2);

2- Register the plugin by adding the file in nuxt.config.js plugins array

plugins: ['~/plugins/components.js']

2. Create Customized block array

You need to create an array of objects that contains blockId and componentName like this

data() {
    return {
      customBlocks: [
        {
          blockId: "fe30b1ce-84a7-47b3-abe1-b3448b989115",
          componentName: "Component1"
        },
        {
          blockId: "305fed49-f7e8-412f-80a1-b32e2bbd5a01",
          componentName: "Component2"
        }
      ]
    };
  },

3. Pass the array to custom prop

You need to pass the customized block array to custom prop

<VueNotionRender :unofficial="true" :data="blocks" :custom="customBlocks" />

4. Accept block prop in your component

to have the block data you need to accept block prop in your component

<script>
export default {
  props: {
    block: Object,
  },
};
</script>
