HOW IT WORKS
-- ASSIGNMENT PARSING
1. Assignments are fetched from the Canvas API.
2. Relevant information is extracted from each fetched assignment, and the following configurations applied:
2(a). Course Code Overrides, and
2(b). Page Emojis.
3. Fetched assignments are saved by course in browser local storage in a JSON-serialisable format.
-- NOTION IMPORT
4. The OAuth2 token is used to authorise with the Notion API.
5. The saved assignment data is retrieved from local storage.
6. The configured database is queried to avoid import of duplicate assignments (by matching assignment URLs).
7. The configured Database Properties are used to create a new database page for each assignment with the Notion API.
