🧩 Analysis chain

Verify that block.code.text is the correct property according to the Notion API.

The change from block.code.rich_text to block.code.text looks syntactically correct and maintains the same extraction logic. However, please confirm that the text property exists on code blocks and has the expected structure with plain_text fields.

🌐 Web query:

What is the correct property name for extracting text content from Notion code blocks according to the latest Notion API documentation?

💡 Result:

According to the latest Notion API documentation, to extract the text content from a Notion code block, you should reference the rich_text array within the block’s type-specific object, and then access the plain_text property of the rich text elements.

For a code block object, the structure is:

{
  "object": "block",
  "type": "code",
  "code": {
    "caption": [ ... ],
    "rich_text": [
      {
        "type": "text",
        "plain_text": "your code here",
        ...
      }
    ],
    "language": "python"
  }
}
  • The correct property path to the text content is:
    code.rich_text[].plain_text

You need to iterate through the rich_text array inside the code object and concatenate the plain_text fields to obtain the full text content of the code block[10].

All rich_text objects will include a plain_text property, which provides a convenient way for developers to access unformatted text from the Notion block[10].

This approach is consistent for extracting plain text from other rich-text-based block types (e.g., paragraphs, headings) as well[3][10].

Summary:

  • Use code.rich_text[].plain_text to extract the text content of a Notion code block via the Notion API[10].

Citations:

Use code.rich_text instead of code.text for Notion code blocks

The Notion API places code content in block.code.rich_text, not block.code.text. Please revert the property change to match the official spec.

• Location to fix:

  • src/notion-to-md.ts, line 503

• Updated snippet:

- const codeContent = block.code.text.map((t: any) => t.plain_text).join("\n");
+ const codeContent = block.code.rich_text.map((t: any) => t.plain_text).join("\n");
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
const codeContent = block.code.text.map((t: any) => t.plain_text).join("\n");
const codeContent = block.code.rich_text.map((t: any) => t.plain_text).join("\n");

In src/notion-to-md.ts at line 503, the code incorrectly accesses code content
using block.code.text, but according to the Notion API spec, the correct
property is block.code.rich_text. Update the code to use block.code.rich_text
instead of block.code.text to properly retrieve the code content.

const language = block.code.language || "plaintext";
parsedData = md.codeBlock(codeContent, language);
