"Drupal 8 Migrations by Example" by Mauricio Dinarte
The Migrate module is a feature-rich tool to move data into Drupal. Being so flexible and powerful, it comes with several abstractions which might be hard to understand at first.
The objective of this session is to provide an overview of the Migrate API and how different pieces interact with each other to get content into Drupal 8. Source, process, and destination plugins will be explained as part of the flow and transformation of data.
Examples include:
* Fetching data from CSV and JSON sources
* Populating address, date, and image fields
* Getting content into Paragraphs
We will examine how the Migrate module works and the thought process required to plan and perform migrations. Both site builders and developers can benefit from this talk.
