Feeds Dependency

This small module allows to add a Feed as a dependency to an another Feed. Importing a Feed will import first the feed set as a dependency, and then main feed will be imported.

This is useful if you want for example process in first a feed which import image to a media entity, and then run the feed which import content with a reference to the media entity created previously.

This module provide a checkbox too to clear the feed set as a dependency when the main feed is cleared.

INSTALLATION

Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. See:
https://www.drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-8
for further information.

CONFIGURATION

• Configure the feeds type you need. For example a Feed to import media entity and an another feed to import node.
• Create two Feeds based on the previously feed types created. Generally the two feeds will have the same source url / file.
• You can select a feed to be set as a dependency using the entity reference field in the edit form. You can then check the option to clear the feed set as a dependency if the current feed is cleared (Delete items).
• Clicking on the Import operation will first process the feed set as a dependency and then process the current feed.
