Drupal 8 migrations by example

Presenters: dinarcon

Learn to move content to your Drupal site using the Migrate module without writing a single line of PHP. This session is aimed at site builders who will learn to combine various contributed modules and write YAML files to accomplish content migrations. No prior experience with the Migrate module is required.

A live demo will be presented where you will learn how to:

  • Fetch data from Comma Separated Values (CSV) files.
  • Transform the data to populate taxonomy, date, image, file, and address fields.
  • Get content into Paragraphs.

Source, process, and destination plugins will be explained to learn how each affect the migration. By the end of the session, you will have a better understanding on how the Migrate module works and the thought process required to plan and perform migrations.

Note: Although no prior Migrate module knowledge is required, it is expected that you have a basic understanding of nodes, content types, and fields. You can learn about these and other Drupal concepts by watching this session recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02fvLzPSIjc
