[META] Build form plugins for process plugins in feeds migrate

Problem/Motivation

When we are migrating data into Drupal fields, sometimes we'd like to tamper that data beforehand. We could trim the whitespace from a data source before importing it into a field for example.

We need a user interface to allow users to select a processor to execute on a data source for each process plugin we're including.

Proposed resolution

In order to create a form for process plugins, each process plugin needs:

  • A label
  • A description

And optionally:

  • Config schema
  • Config default values
  • A category (used to group process plugins of the same kind in the UI and thus make it easier to find)

The config schema could help (in theory) to create a dynamic form for process plugins. A dynamic form may not be user friendly for each process plugin though, so it is possible that for most we still need to create specific forms.

The above information can also be added to form plugins in Migrate Plus Feeds itself, but then we need to create a form plugin per process plugin, a dynamic form I think is not possible then.

Lets build form plugins for each process plugin. (Important ones taken from https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_import )

  • Default Value
  • Explode
  • Skip on empty
  • Format date

Remaining tasks

* Provide examples of this in the code for new coder to start building these form plugins with
* Create child issues for each process plugin we need to create form plugins for
