Mirrors Import Export

Import and Export entities with Feeds CSV parser and Views Data Export.

Package

• Mirrors (Import and export Drupal core entities + runtime)
• Mirrors Extra Fields (Fields from popular contrib modules)
• Mirrors Commerce (Import and export Commerce entities)

Too many times I have been husseling with imports and exports within Drupal. Allthough there is excellent tooling to do this (Views, Feeds, Migrate) it stays difficult and error-prone to setup these modules to function appropriatly. Its a lot of clicking around, testing and retesting. And when you want to change/add/remove a field, you have to do this at least 3 times: field_ui, views_ui and your importer. Thats where this module kicks in.

There are a couple of use-case for this module:

1. While developing; you export/import your users, content, products and don't like to fallback on your database backups but instead want a litte more regression-testability.
2. As a tool to get your content in version control. As we have features for configration, you can use this for content.
3. As a lazy way to create complex Views and Feeds. Let Mirrors create them, and afterwards you clone and adjust them. See mirrors_example for entities with a lot of fields.

Exports are Views Data Exports in CSV format.
Imports are Feeds.
