Overview

The Nuxt Notion Boilerplate is a boilerplate code that allows users to deploy a Notion blog using Nuxt on Netlify. It provides a convenient way to set up and deploy a blog that utilizes Notion as its content management system.

Features

  • Notion Setup: Easily create a new database in Notion with specified columns for Name, Slug, and Author.
  • Integration Creation: Generate a new integration in Notion settings to obtain an Authorization Key for Netlify function access to the Notion database.
  • Netlify Setup: Set up necessary environment variables in the Netlify dashboard, including ‘CLIENT_TOKEN’ and ‘DATABASE_ID’ for the Authorization Key and database ID respectively.
  • Deployment Options: Choose between connecting the Netlify site to a GitHub repository for automatic deployments or manually running commands like ’npm run generate’ and ’netlify deploy’ using the Netlify CLI.

Installation

To install and use the Nuxt Notion Boilerplate, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new database in Notion with the following columns: Name (Title property), Slug (Text property), and Author (Text property).

  3. In the Netlify dashboard, go to Environment Variables and add a new variable named ‘CLIENT_TOKEN’. Set its value to the Authorization Key obtained from the Notion Integration step.
  4. Also in the Netlify dashboard, add a new variable named ‘DATABASE_ID’. Set its value to the ID of your Notion database.
  5. To deploy the blog, you can either:
    • Connect the Netlify site to a GitHub repository for automatic deployments.
    • Run the command ’npm run generate’ and use the Netlify CLI to deploy manually.
