Overview of this book

Learning Drupal can be challenging because of its robust, extensible, and powerful capability for digital experiences, making it difficult for beginners to grasp and use it for application development. If you’re looking to break into Drupal with hands-on knowledge, this Drupal 10 Masterclass is for you. With this book, you’ll gain a thorough knowledge of Drupal by understanding its core concepts, including its technical architecture, frontend, backend, framework, and latest features. Equipped with foundational knowledge, you’ll bootstrap and install your first project with expert guidance on maintaining Drupal applications. Progressively, you’ll build applications using Drupal’s core features such as content structures, multilingual support, users, roles, Views, search, and digital assets. You’ll discover techniques for developing modules and themes and harness Drupal’s robust content management through layout builder, blocks, and content workflows. The book familiarizes you with prominent tools such as Git, Drush, and Composer for code deployments and DevOps practices for Drupal application management. You’ll also explore advanced use cases for content migration and multisite implementation, extending your application’s capabilities. By the end of this book, you’ll not only have learned how to build a successful Drupal application but may also find yourself contributing to the Drupal community.

Migration concepts

Enterprises often have their existing websites and systems, but they may wish to move onto Drupal. To accommodate this, Drupal has a core Migrate system to perform migration. Migration is then made easier through a common set of tools, practices, systems, and frameworks that offer repeatability, predictability, and consistency.

Migrate itself is built from a conventional ETL convention. This is a common design pattern in software engineering and not specific to Drupal. Drupal applies this concept through sources and destinations. Content is extracted from a source. Migrate’s tooling, including features within Drupal, processes that content into a raw data format. Finally, the raw data is loaded into the destination through serialization. This process maintains the foundational, underlying design of the Migrate system.

Migration brings a lot of complexity to both the sources and destinations involved in migrating content. Sources can be any content source...
