Option for choosing the Date format

[katyatitkova]

The Date type currently includes the time as part of the date:

type Date time.Time

func (d *Date) String() string {
	return time.Time(*d).Format(time.RFC3339)
}

func (d Date) MarshalText() ([]byte, error) {
	return []byte(d.String()), nil
}

As a result, all Date properties filled using notionapi will have the time part visible in the Notion UI (until the user manually turns off the "Include time" option for that property on a particular page).

When I change time.RFC3339 to "2006-01-02" locally, only the date part is sent, and only the date part is visible in the Notion UI.

Would it be possible to add an option to choose the date format that is sent to Notion? This would allow users to select whether they want to include the time or not. I don't have much experience with Go, so I'm wondering if it's possible to make this change in a backward-compatible manner. If it's not, then I can continue to use my forked version.

Hello,
I have the same issue with one of my projects.

To avoid breaking existing code and to fix the issue, I thought about adding a dateOnly field to DateObject

type DateObject struct {
	Start *Date `json:"start"`
	End   *Date `json:"end"`
	DateOnly bool
}

Then, implement a custom MarshalJSON() for the struct to switch between "2006-01-02" and time.RFC3339, depending on whether the DateOnly field is set.

I can create a pull request if you'd like.
