How to build a custom CSV importer in farmOS (video)

farmOS includes some default CSV importers with standard templates, but sometimes you need something more custom. If you want to be able to import an existing CSV with different headers, or go beyond what the default importers can do, that is possible in a custom module. farmOS leverages Drupal's Migrate API to enable complex ETL (extract, transform, and load) logic and process pipelines. In this video we explain the basic concepts by walking through the process of creating a simple custom importer.
