Drupal 8 Migrations by Example

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 contrib 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 workflow. 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.
