Grokking Migrate Field Plugins

phenaproxima

When it comes to migrating data from Drupal 6 and 7 to Drupal 8, field plugins are some of the most important pieces of the puzzle. They're also one of the least understood corners of the core migration system. This short deep-dive will trek far into field plugins
and how they work. You will learn how to implement, test, debug, and use them effectively in your migration adventures. When you grok field plugins, you will be able to perform rock-solid migrations of all your legacy content and data, no matter how exotic it is.

This session is for intermediate-to-advanced Drupal coders. You should be familiar with Drupal 8's plugin system and ideally have a little prior experience with Migrate API (either the Drupal 7 contrib module, or the Drupal 8 core subsystem).
