# Notion to Markdown

Convert notion pages, block and list of blocks to markdown (supports nesting) using **[notion-sdk-js](https://github.com/makenotion/notion-sdk-js)**

> **Note:** Before getting started, create [an integration and find the token](https://www.notion.so/my-integrations).

## Usage

> **Note:** Details on methods can be found in [API section](https://github.com/souvikinator/notion-to-md#api)

### converting markdown objects to markdown string

This is how the notion page looks for this example:

![Imgur](https://imgur.com/O6bKCmH.png)

```js
const { Client } = require("@notionhq/client");
const { NotionToMarkdown } = require("notion-to-md");
// or
// import {NotionToMarkdown} from "notion-to-md";

const notion = new Client({
auth: "your integration token",
});

// passing notion client to the option
const n2m = new NotionToMarkdown({ notionClient: notion });

(async () => {
const mdblocks = await n2m.pageToMarkdown("target_page_id");
const mdString = n2m.toMarkdownString(mdblocks);

//writing to file
fs.writeFile("test.md", mdString, (err) => {
console.log(err);
});
})();
```

**Output:**

### converting page to markdown object

Example notion page:

![Imgur](https://imgur.com/9iqRpBl.png)

```js
const { Client } = require("@notionhq/client");
const { NotionToMarkdown } = require("notion-to-md");

const notion = new Client({
auth: "your integration token",
});

// passing notion client to the option
const n2m = new NotionToMarkdown({ notionClient: notion });

(async () => {
// notice second argument, totalPage.
const x = await n2m.pageToMarkdown("target_page_id", 2);
console.log(x);
})();
```

**Output:**

```json
[
{
"parent": "# heading 1",
"children": []
},
{
"parent": "- bullet 1",
"children": [
{
"parent": "- bullet 1.1",
"children": []
},
{
"parent": "- bullet 1.2",
"children": []
}
]
},
{
"parent": "- bullet 2",
"children": []
},
{
"parent": "- [ ] check box 1",
"children": [
{
"parent": "- [x] check box 1.2",
"children": []
},
{
"parent": "- [ ] check box 1.3",
"children": []
}
]
},
{
"parent": "- [ ] checkbox 2",
"children": []
}
]
```

### converting list of blocks to markdown object

same notion page as before

```js
const { Client } = require("@notionhq/client");
const { NotionToMarkdown } = require("notion-to-md");

const notion = new Client({
auth: "your integration token",
});

// passing notion client to the option
const n2m = new NotionToMarkdown({ notionClient: notion });

(async () => {
// get all blocks in the page
const { results } = await notion.blocks.children.list({
block_id,
});

//convert to markdown
const x = await n2m.blocksToMarkdown(results);
console.log(x);
})();
```

**Output**: same as before

### Converting a single block to markdown string

- only takes a single notion block and returns corresponding markdown string
- nesting is ignored
- depends on @notionhq/client

```js
const { NotionToMarkdown } = require("notion-to-md");

// passing notion client to the option
const n2m = new NotionToMarkdown({ notionClient: notion });

const result = n2m.blockToMarkdown(block);
console.log(result);
```

**result**:
