Script to ingest a batch of nodes and accompanying media using Islandora CLAW's REST interface

claw_rest_ingester's Issues

Add ability to populate fields on media

Thanks to @dannylamb's patience on IRC, I got this working:

curl -v -u admin:islandora -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PATCH --data-binary @my.json "http://localhost:8000/media/17?_format=json"

where my.json is

{"bundle": [{"target_id":"web_content","target_type":"media_bundle"}], "field_premis_event": [{"value":"Hi there."}]}

Add the ability to use custom fields in the CSV file

The ingester should be able to add fields other than title and description. It should auto-detect additional fields in the CSV and if the corresponding field exists in the target content type, populate it.

Ingesting TIFF and JP2 doesn't work

They result in a 500. I think the routes are incorrect.

Add ability to add a collection field

field_member_of with the node ID of the collection is what we want to populate.

Port to Python

So it can be wrapped in Electron for a nice desktop app!

Provide options for CSV metadadata file

E.g., delimiter (tab), field wrapper (single quote), etc.

Inspect the content type and validate existence of fields

If we can get a list of the specified content type's fields via REST, we can do a pre-ingest validation on whether or not the fields in the CSV exist, and if not, skip them.

Add support for Entity Reference and othe field types

Currently, only Text fields can be populated.

Rename repo to remove 'claw'

Make this into a desktop app!

This doesn't need to be a command-line application. Electron for example would be a good desktop development framework to develop this in. A list of apps developed in Electron is available at https://electronjs.org/apps.

Related, it might be useful to test some REST requests to Islandora using https://electronjs.org/apps/advanced-rest-client.

Move configuration variables to an external YAML file

This file would then be called as a command-line parameter.

Image media require alt text

Alt text is a required field in the GUI for image media, so we will need to PATCH a value for this field upon successful PUTing the media.
