The Mirrors module automagically creates content exporters and importers for
active bundles.
Exports are Views Data Exports in CSV format.
Imports are Feeds.
Content import and export takes a lot of time.
Although there is excellent tooling to do this (Views, Feeds, Migrate) it stays
difficult and error-prone to setup these modules to function appropriately. Its
a lot of clicking around, testing and retesting. And when you want to
change/add/remove a field, you have to do this at least 3 times: field_ui,
views_ui and your importer. Thats where this module kicks in.
There are a couple of use-case for this module:
1. While developing; you export/import your users, content, products and don't
like to fallback on your database backups but instead want a litte more
regression-testability.
2. As a tool to get your content in version control. As we have features for
configration, you can use this for content.
3. As a lazy way to create complex Views and Feeds. Let Mirrors create them, and
afterwards you clone and adjust them. See mirrors_example for entities with a
lot of fields.
This module supports specific core entities and fields.
