README

This module provides several utilities exposed via the drush command line to import, export, and manipulate Drupal entities.

Installation

This module requires some composer based dependencies. From your drupal root run the following commands:

composer require cyberitas/io_utils
drush pm:enable -y io_utils

Search and Replace Usage

Search and replace uses regular expressions, allowing back references, to replace values in all published entities. If the field-names option is omitted, it will search in all fields and replace in all supported field types.

drush io-utils:replace "/^foo-(.*)-baz$/" "bar-$1-baz" --field-names body,field_example

Export Usage

Creates a file called "drupal_post_17.json" or rewrites it, and puts in a json representation of a Drupal entity with ID of 17, and the final 0 to allow exporting unpublished entities.

io-utils:export-one 17 /example/entity_17.json 0

Import Usage

Reads a file called "block-17.json", and puts saved information into a new Drupal block content

io-utils:import-one-block-content /example/entity_17.json

Other

There are additional bulk operations, search operations, and services available for use. Refer to the drush command help for more information.
