- [x] ~~Support edit for database details in plugin settings. 支持编辑数据库详情~~
## How to use
If you want to use this plugin, you need to follow the following steps to set up the plugin. The steps can be divided into two parts: setting up the Notion API and setting up the plugin in Obsidian.
### setting up the Notion API
If you want to use this plugin, you need to follow the following steps to set up the plugin. The steps can be divided into two parts: setting up the Notion API and setting up the plugin in Obsidian.
1. go to [Notion API](https://www.notion.com/my-integrations) to create a new integration, and **copy the token**.
![create-api](https://minioapi.pjx.ac.cn/img1/2024/07/e48fb26f7311d08429683e8e8f8b993e.mp4)
### 1. Setting up the Notion API
2. Create a database in your Notion workspace.
1). Go to [Notion API](https://www.notion.com/my-integrations) to create a new integration, and **copy the token**.
Open Notion, clink top-left `Create a new page` -> You can give a title for the page and press "/" Select 'Database - Full page'.

2). Create a database in your Notion workspace.
Rename the database properties to `title` and `tags`.
Open Notion, click top-left `Create` a new page` -> You can give a title for the page and press "/" Select 'Database - Full page'.
![create-database](https://minioapi.pjx.ac.cn/img1/2024/07/f1bd993ed667bcc980a45194eb647c34.gif)

### Create a database
### 3. Create a database
**You can create three types of databases:**
#### General database
General database is the default database, which only has the `title` and `tags` columns. **⚠️⚠️`title` and `tags` are lower case⚠**
#### 1 General database
General database is the default database, which only has the `title` and `tags` columns. **⚠️⚠️`title` and `tags` are lowercase⚠**
![general](https://minioapi.pjx.ac.cn/img1/2024/07/b2d0d0259afae7a542bd9f62256cd2c2.png)
The general is as follows:
- Full Name: the full name that you would like to give to the database.
- Abbreviate Name: the abbreviation that you would like to give to the database.
- Notion tags sync: whether you want to sync the tags column to Notion.
- Customise title property: whether you want to change the `title` to another name (e.g., `name`).
- Notion API token: the token you copied from the Notion API page.
- Notion Database ID: the database ID you copied from the Notion database URL. (e.g., only copy `7158cd3f70ce4f60afd9da5bdf74fd0c` between `site/` and `?` **https://jxpeng.notion.site/7158cd3f70ce4f60afd9da5bdf74fd0c?v=380317ac53734fc0b2471243c13e618f&pvs=4**)
- Notion Database ID: the database ID you copied from the Notion database URL. (e.g., only copy `7158cd3f70ce4f60afd9da5bdf74fd0c` between `site/` and `?`. `https://jxpeng.notion.site/7158cd3f70ce4f60afd9da5bdf74fd0c?v=380317ac5373sadasdas3c13e618f&pvs=4**`)
After setting, it should look like this:

## 使用方法
如果你想使用这个插件,你需要完成下边的七个步骤。
1. 首先在你的Notion中创建一个数据库。
2. 点击右上角的'分享' -> '发布' -> '发布' -> 然后复制URL中的数据库ID。(版本不同可能id的形式也不同。只需要复制在之前的纯数字部分应该就可以了)
3. 去[Notion API](https://www.notion.com/my-integrations)创建一个新的API然后复制token。
4. 回到你创建的Notion数据库点击右上角的'...' -> 连接 -> 连接到 -> 把你刚才创建的API绑定到你的数据库
5. 回到Obsidian的设置 -> 社区插件 -> 搜索'NotionNext' -> 安装
6. 在插件设置中创建一个数据库,然后填写数据库的详情和你想要同步的属性 (**注意Notion会识别表头的大小写一定要和notion中的表头保持大小写一致**)。
- 你可以使用三种类型的数据库:
- NotionNext: 用于NotionNext模板的数据库。(**默认全部小写**)
- General: 用于普通的Notion数据库**只有`title`和`tags`两个属性**
- Custom: 用于自定义属性的数据库(你可以自定义你想要同步的属性)
7. 在Obsidian中创建一个新的笔记然后在frontmatter中写入你想要的属性。
6). Sync the note to Notion.

## Acknowledgement
## Acknowledgment
Thanks to the [original author](https://github.com/EasyChris/obsidian-to-notion) for developing such a useful plugin that can synchronize Obsidian to Notion. However, the original repository can only sync Name and Tag information. For those like me who use [NotionNext](https://github.com/tangly1024/NotionNext) to set up their website, this presents some limitations. Every time I import, I need to make a lot of modifications.
