JSON Import Module
==================

[](#json-import-module)

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

The JSON Import module allows you to import Drupal content types, paragraph types, and content from JSON configuration via an admin form or drush command. This module is forked from `dcloud_import` but focuses specifically on JSON-based imports without API functionality.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Admin form interface for importing JSON configurations
- Drush command for command-line imports
- Support for content types, paragraph types, fields, and content
- Preview mode to see what would be imported
- Comprehensive validation of JSON structure

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Place the module in `modules/custom/json_import`
2. Enable the module: `drush en json_import`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Admin Interface

[](#admin-interface)

Navigate to **Configuration** → **Content authoring** → **JSON Content Import** (`/admin/config/content/json-import`)

The form provides:

- JSON input field with validation
- Example JSON configuration
- Preview mode option

### Drush Command

[](#drush-command)

Import from command line:

```
# Import from a JSON file
drush json_import:import /path/to/config.json

# Preview what would be imported
drush json_import:import /path/to/config.json --preview

# Using alias
drush ji:import /path/to/config.json
```

JSON Structure
--------------

[](#json-structure)

The module expects JSON with `model` and/or `content` arrays:

```
{
  "model": [
    {
      "bundle": "event",
      "description": "Content type for events",
      "label": "Event",
      "body": true,
      "fields": [
        {
          "id": "event_date",
          "label": "Event Date",
          "type": "datetime"
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "content": [
    {
      "id": "event1",
      "type": "node.event",
      "values": {
        "title": "Sample Event",
        "event_date": "2024-03-15T09:00:00"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
