Associative Array Source

The UXDM associative array source allows you to source data from a simple multidimensional associative array. It can be useful if you have already retrieved the required data by other means.

Creating

To create a new associative array source, you must provide it with a associative array in a specific format. The example below shows the required format.

$crew = [
    ['name' => 'Worf', 'role' => 'security'],
    ['name' => 'Picard', 'role' => 'captain'],
    ['name' => 'Data', 'role' => 'second-officer'],
    ['name' => 'Riker', 'role' => 'first-officer']
];

The following example creates a associative array source object, using the associative array defined above.

$associativeArraySource = new AssociativeArraySource($crew);

Assigning to migrator

To use the associative array source as part of a UXDM migration, you must assign it to the migrator. This process is the same for most sources.

$migrator = new Migrator;
$migrator->setSource($associativeArraySource);
