README

Lark provides the functionality to export and import content entities along with their dependencies from one Drupal site to another.

Setup

Visit the Lark Sources page (/admin/lark/source), and create a new Source for where you will export your content. Ideally, this directory should be outside the document root of the Drupal site.

You can make your exports directory relative to a module or theme by providing the module or theme name within brackets in the directory path.

Example: [my_custom_module]/content will be converted into modules/custom/my_custom_module/content.

Visit the Lark settings page and set default Lark Source.

Exporting Entities

Entities can be exported from the entity's view/edit page by clicking the "Lark" tab. This will provide a form where you can easily export the entity and its dependencies. The export will be saved to the selected Lark Source, or can be downloaded as a .tar.gz file.

To export an entity using drush, the following command can be used:

drush lark:export-entity <source id> <entity type> <entity id>

Importing Entities

Exported entities can be imported using the Source's UI, located at /admin/lark/source/<source id>. This page will list all exports available within the source along with their export status.

If the entity already exists on the site, the entity can be re-imported by visiting the entity's edit page and clicking the "Lark" tab.

To import entities using drush, the following commands can be used:

# Import all entities from all Lark Sources.
drush lark:import-all-entities

# Import all entities within a given source.
drush lark:import-source <source id>

# Import a single entity and its dependencies from a specific Lark Source.
drush lark:import-entity <source id> <uuid>

User Interface

• /admin/lark/source - List of all sources. View a source to see its export contents.
