JSON Ingestion Examples
The data is pulled from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/
Approach 1: Migrate API
Requirements
- Migrate
- Migrate Plus
There are 2 migrations:
- images (5000 total)
- json_posts_to_posts (100 total)
To run them you can do:
drush mim images --limit=100
drush mim json_posts_to_posts
there are only 100 posts, so for our purposes we don't need more than 100 images.
Once both migrations have been run you can see the data at /migration-posts which is controller by a view.
This approach has the advantage of requiring migrate API which pulls in a lot of helpful things,
such as rollbacks, update old items, only importing new items...etc.
Approach 2: Custom Drush Command
Will import the first 100 images only, followed by 100 posts.
Also available for viewing on /migration-posts after import.
drush jie-posts
Approach 3: Views JSON Source
Requirements
- views_json_source
Make sure views_json_source module is included in your codebase.
Then visit /views-json-source after enabling this module which is a preconfigured view of titles and body fields from external JSON.
Approach 4: Javascript Only
- Attach a javascript library to a page
- Fetch the API data and render it all client side
