Drupal migrations for non-coders
Starting with Drupal 8, the Migrate API makes it possible to write and execute migrations without having to write PHP code. It is also possible to execute them from the Drupal administration interface if the command line is not available or you prefer not to use it.
This session will explain the Migrate API and many of its concepts like source, process, and destination plugins from a site builder perspective. You will also learn about the migrate ecosystem in Drupal 9 to be aware of what tools are at your disposal. The examples include migrating from CSV and JSON files to populate different field types like taxonomy, date, and address.
Target Audience
