Converting Custom Localist Module into a Contrib Solution for Drupal Event Integration

Staff Reporter

Comment

Marc Berger, Senior Backend Engineer at Four Kitchens, shares insights into transforming a custom module for importing Localist event data into Drupal into a contributed (contrib) module for the community. Originally built for a higher education client, the module now offers an easy way for organizations to integrate event data from Localist into their Drupal websites using migration APIs, custom plugins, and UI enhancements.

The contrib version provides features like preflight checks, example migrations, and comprehensive documentation to support developers. By adapting this custom solution for broader use, the team reinforces their commitment to knowledge sharing and highlights the value of building for the community.
