Import Providers

Currently, these Import Provider Types are supported:

• CSV
• JSON
• XML
• SQL
• External SQL
• Raw (for nested imports)

Because, the data needs to be non-hierarchial, XML and JSON are very limited. You can write your own provider to prepare the data for the plugin. To do that, you simply need to create a new class and implement Instride\Bundle\DataDefinitionsBundle\Provider\ImportProviderInterface namespace and add a new service:

acme_bundle.data_definitions.provider.my_provider:
    class: AcmeBundle\DataDefinitions\MyProvider
    tags:
      - { name: data_definitions.import_provider, type: my_provider, form-type: AcmeBundle\Form\Type\MyProviderType }

Take a look at the existing Providers to get a clue how they are working.
