Configuration

The Importer uses a jsonField setting to indicate where the content is being stored. Individual importers can also define their own fields. Add configurations to the importers callback of the craft-importer config file config/craft-importer.php. Here's an example:

new \ContentReactor\Importer\Importers\BaseFileImporter(
	section: 'yourSectionHandle',
	importerType: \ContentReactor\Importer\Base\ImporterType::IMPORTER_TYPE_FILE,
	foundStrategy: \ContentReactor\Importer\Base\FoundStrategy::OVERWRITE,
	notFoundStrategy: \ContentReactor\Importer\Base\NotFoundStrategy::DELETE,
	filePath: '/full/system/path/to/your/file.xml', // <- the extension must match the fileType, or be compatible with the MIME type
	fileType: \ContentReactor\Importer\Services\Imports::FILE_XML,
	dataPath: 'comma.separated.nesting.is.supported',
	slugKey: 'slug-key',
	titleKey: 'titleKey',
	primaryKey: 'primary_key', // if 'slug', the `primaryKeyValue` will be tested as slugified
	primaryKeyValue: 'value used to look for existing elements', // relevant for `foundStrategy` and `notFoundStrategy`
),

The same configuration can be replaced by a more defined custom class. The class must implement the \ContentReactor\Importer\Contracts\Importers\ImporterInterface

new \Your\Namespace\Importer(
	section: 'anotherSectionHandle',
	filePath: 'www.example.com/awesome-import-data.json',
	// If the constructor requires only two values, it means the rest of them are being pre-determined or have default fallback values
),

More details and information about each property used by the ImporterInterface can be found in the annotation of the constructor in ContentReactor\Importer\Traits\Importer.

Since the data is intended to be imported and stored in a content field, if it's supposed to be visible, but not editable by content editors, the configuration for NYStudio107's Code Editor Field offers a neat way to make the field readonly.
