Hi,

I've been doing some research in finding a migrating process for views that will show a process of migrating views from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8.

After reading the migrating API, I've noticed that most of the focus of the docs resides in migrating content but not the structure.

I wanted to ask if there's a way of grabbing views from databases(Source) and imported into Views(Destination) using the Migration API tools.

Best,

No, you need to rebuild them. There is no upgrade path between 7-8. Core maintainers went with the approach of rebuild in 8 and migrate content. Too many architectural changes. That is why you only see docs about content.

This lets you export your Drupal 7 views as Drupal 8 YAML code.

Getting this error

The import failed with the following message: Unable to parse at line 1 (near "$view = new view();").

My expierence last year was: The idea behind the module is interesting but the realization is too simple
My Comments on it:

No progress since 2017. Very sad, that there is no really good solution.
