Efficient Batch Processing in Drupal 11 Using Drush Commands

Staff Reporter

Creating Custom Entity Field Widget Autocomplete in Drupal

The recent blog post by hashbangcode explores the effective use of batch processing in Drupal 11, emphasizing the importance of abstracting batch operations into a separate class. This method enhances the flexibility and power of the Batch API, allowing developers to run batch processes not only from form submissions but also directly through Drush commands.

By isolating the batchProcess and batchFinished methods, the approach simplifies code management. It enables batch operations to be triggered from various points within the application. This setup is particularly advantageous for automating tasks via the command line, reducing the need for user interaction during long-running processes. The blog provides comprehensive examples and source code, with further resources available on GitHub.
