Problem/Motivation

As a follow up of #2831274: Bring Media entity module to core as Media module and as part of #2825215: Media initiative: Roadmap we will need to provide migrate integration for the media entity.

This is a meta issue destined to track progress on all sub-tasks that this plan entails.

Proposed resolution

  • Add a file source plugin to be able to source from all permanent files on the system
  • Add media entity destination plugin to be able to migrate stuff into media entities.
  • Provide example migration to migrate files into media entities. This would use the existing file entities, but then wrap them into media entities. (Probably in #2835825: Add d8 media migration too?)
  • Provide migrations/update paths for file/image field configurations. They should become entity reference fields that reference the migrated media entities. #2885002: Provide an optional migration path for sites using files/images to media entities
  • Provide a migration example for an actual file field
  • Provide a migration example for an actual image field
  • Provide a migration example for the file/image field display configuration.
  • ... more?

Re-wording the IS to account for the fact that a source isn't needed and the destination probably too.

Wrapping a file entity in a media entity is one thing but it's not clear how one could migrate the alt/title values this way?

Given the work towards supporting Media in WYSIWYG (#2801307: [META] Support WYSIWYG embedding of media entities), has anyone looked at migrating from the media_wysiwyg module in D7 to Media in D8?

For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
