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.

Use cases

There are several use cases in which the Migrate system can be used.

Migrations often are designed as one-time or ongoing (continuous migrations). One-time migrations pull from sources only once. It is common to move from one content management system (CMS) to another, where Drupal is the new destination and the old system gets shut down. The migration moves the data only once into the new system. Ongoing migrations are often used when data is pulled from a third-party destination that changes with time and is leveraged by the Drupal application. Ongoing migrations can be executed periodically via drush calls with CRON directly on the server, or through the use of the migrate scheduler or migrate Cron contributed modules.

An example of this could be a daily migration that pulls from public JSON web service feeds into Drupal. The following YAML file, which leverages the Migrate Plus and Migrate Tools modules, defines a migration definition that pulls articles from the...
