Example module for Drupal which imports a CSV file (then does nothing with it)

Drupal 8 Batch Process CSV Import

This is an example module!

• Demonstrates how to use file upload and Batch API to import a CSV file.
• The batch iterates through each line of the CSV (except the first) and does ... nothing, except for filling the progress bar.
• Sample code to import CSV to node included.
• In the end it outputs a new CSV file containing all lines that were not imported due to malformation (if any).

The basic idea is that if you're writing a CSV importer for Drupal, maybe you can start here and save a lot of time.

You should definitely check Drupal's excellent Migrate functionality and the toolkit & features it offers. They may fit your needs better, especially if you prefer using configuration over custom code.

In particular, take a look at Migrate Source UI which fills a similar space to this module; a web UI that you can throw CSV at.

If you want a lightweight start point which requires custom coding, this module may be useful and we hope you find it so!
