Get a notebook

This downloads a notebook to notebook.js. It's recommended to commit the notebook source to the repository, so it can be checked against the notebook on observablehq.com in case it changes.

Usage

To install:

npm install @apicomponents/get-notebook --save-dev

To configure, add the notebook-scripts custom property to package.json and a script to download the notebook. The notebook URL will be converted to an API URL by changing beta.observablehq.com to api.observablehq.com and appending .js to it.

  "notebookScripts": {
    "notebook": "https://beta.observablehq.com/@benatkin/building-an-npm-module-with-observable"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "get-notebook": "get-notebook"
  }

To run the script, first set OBSERVABLE_API_KEY to the key in the URL for downloading a notebook (found at the end of the URL obtained by clicking Download code from the dot menu next to the Publish button at the top of the notebook), and then run the npm script:

export OBSERVABLE_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY
npm run get-notebook
