NOTE: This project is a work in progress and has a pile of FIXMEs
This program lets you input data into Notion from the command line. It exists to avoid the inconsistent keyboard usage experience of the Notion database web interface.
Currently it supports these column types:
- Text
- Title
- Select
- Date
- URL
- Relation (limited support: prefetches the relation data and doesn't do pagination for that yet)
Install nightly Rust. See https://rustup.rs.
Checkout this repository. You can run the software directly from this checkout
by using cargo run in place of notion-entry in the commands that follow.
You can also install the software into your home directory with
cargo install --locked --path ..
Create a Notion integration: https://www.notion.so/my-integrations.
Share the database you want to enter data into and also any databases it has relations to with the integration on the Notion web interface.
Run notion-entry list. It will tell you to create a file with your Notion app
token in it (on my machine, it is at ~/.config/notion-entry/token). Create
that file.
Pick the database you want to enter items into from that list, and enter its
UUID in a file called database in the configuration directory you saw
previously.
Run notion-entry add. It will prompt you for the data you want to enter.
Notes on the UI:
- You can reorder fields by typing the
:ordercommand into any textual field. - The relation selection uses the multi selection mode of skim, which uses the Tab key to select items, and Enter to accept the input.
- Colours on select items are just what you have set on the Notion web interface.
