This issue was originally at #2543568: Remove the md_entity destination plugin hack - that issue has been narrowed in scope to the WTFery which required destinations to access the Migration plugin.

Problem/Motivation

Ideally, migration destination plugins (which wrap delivery of data to destinations such as Drupal entities) should be usable by themselves, without a containing migration - unfortunately, DestinationBase requires a MigrationInterface argument.

This is an API breaker, given it's not a blocker for #2810347: [policy, no patch] Mark migrate.module as beta stability it is postponed until 9.0.

Proposed resolution

Remove the migration from the interface and all classes accepting it as a parameter.

Remaining tasks

Start from the patch at https://www.drupal.org/node/2543568#comment-11616593 and remove the bits being addressed in that issue.

User interface changes

N/A

API changes

Removal of $migration from all destination constructors.

Data model changes

None.

Version: 9.x-dev » 9.0.x-dev

The 9.0.x branch will open for development soon, and the placeholder 9.x branch should no longer be used. Only issues that require a new major version should be filed against 9.0.x (for example, removing deprecated code or updating dependency major versions). New developments and disruptive changes that are allowed in a minor version should be filed against 8.9.x, and significant new features will be moved to 9.1.x at committer discretion. For more information see the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 and 9 release cycles and the Drupal 9.0.0 release plan.

Does this need to be postponed anymore?

This would be a minor-only change. Since 8.9.x and 9.0.x are now in beta, I'm moving this to 9.1.x. Thanks!

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
