Write Streamlit apps using Notion!
☠️ IMPORTANT: This is just a little prototype I made to play with some ideas. Not meant for production!
-
Example app: https://share.streamlit.io/tvst/notionlit/main
-
Notion page with source code: https://www.notion.so/streamlit/NotionLit-d500932b258b43298b509eb6dd3db230
👉 Try editing the Notion page, then going to the app and pressing
R
to refresh!
-
Fork this app into your own repo (or just copy
streamlit_app.py
. It's fully self-contained!) -
Create a new integration in Notion. When you're done, grab the secret token as you'll need it later.
-
Create a page in Notion, then:
- Share it with your integration
- Grab the page URL as you'llneed it later.
-
Deploy your app with share.streamlit.io.
-
Set up your app's secrets, adding in the secret token and page URL from the steps above.
[notion] token = "YOUR_NOTION_SECRET" page_url = "YOUR_NOTION_PAGE_URL"
🥳 Done!
Now any time you edit your Notion page, go into your Streamlit app and press R
to rerun it
(thereby fetching the latest content from Notion).
If you add a code block in Notion and mark it as a Python block, it will actually get executed when you load your app!
So try adding a Python block with this into your Notion page:
import streamlit as st
import numpy as np
num_rows = st.slider("Number of rows", 1, 500, 100)
data = np.random.randn(num_rows, 5)
st.write(data)
st.line_chart(data)
(If you need other Python packages, add them to your requirements.txt
)
One more thing: let's say you want to execute Python code, but don't want to pollute your Notion page with too much ugly code. There's a hack for that. Just put the code inside an expander without a title or with a title equal to "Code".
- Headers
- Paragraphs (with bold/italic/strikethrough/links)
- Images
- Code blocks
- Expanders
- @user_mentions
- @date_mentions
And that's all
Again, this is just a proof-of-concept / prototype. So I didn't implement a bunch of other stuff, like underline, @page_mentions, columns, etc.
Also note that not everything in Streamlit is supported either. I don't have an exhaustive list but, for example, magic doesn't work.
