<aside> ⚠️

ChildDatabaseBlock is read-only. It represents a child_database block returned by the Notion API. It cannot be created, appended, or updated as a block. Use the Create a database and Update a database endpoints to create or update the corresponding database container.

1. Instance methods

title → String

$\fbox{implemented in ChildBaseBlock}$

[RETURN] the plain-text title of the child database (String)

title returns the title contained in the child_database object returned by the Notion API. The value is read-only.

block = Block.find "child_database_block_id"
block.title
# => "Child database"

can_append → false

$\fbox{implemented in Block}$

[RETURN] false (Boolean)

can_append returns false because a child_database block cannot be created with Append block children.

can_update → false

$\fbox{implemented in Block}$

[RETURN] false (Boolean)

can_update returns false because a child_database block cannot be updated with the Update a block endpoint.

2. Notion API support and limitations

Retrieve an existing child_database block through Block.find or a block-children response.
Direct construction without an API response raises ArgumentError.
title is read-only; title= is not provided.
The block represents the Database container placed on a page. Its data sources are contained within that Database and are not represented by ChildDatabaseBlock.
