class Flatten in Drupal 9

Same name and namespace in other branches

8 core/modules/migrate/src/Plugin/migrate/process/Flatten.php \Drupal\migrate\Plugin\migrate\process\Flatten

Flattens the source value.

The flatten process plugin converts a nested array into a flat array. For example [[1, 2, [3, 4]], [5], 6] becomes [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. During some types of processing (e.g. user permission splitting), what was once a one-dimensional array gets transformed into a multidimensional array. This plugin will flatten them back down to one-dimensional arrays again.

Example:


process:
  tags:
     -
       plugin: default_value
       source: foo
       default_value: [bar, [qux, quux]]
     -
       plugin: flatten

In this example, the default_value process returns [bar, [qux, quux]] (given a NULL value of foo). At this point, Migrate would try to import two items: bar and [qux, quux]. The latter is not a valid one and won't be imported. We need to pass the values through the flatten processor to obtain a three items array [bar, qux, quux], suitable for import.
