Media source plugins provide the link between media entities in Drupal and the actual media asset itself. They are the code that understand the difference between an image, a video, and a Tweet, and perform the translation that allows the media ecosystem to treat all media entities equally. For example, local image files, and remote YouTube videos, can both be catalogued in a similar way as media entities, but they need very different handling when it comes to displaying them.
Media sources are represented as plugins, there are a handful in Drupal core, and a developer can add new plugins to represent any type of media your application needs to catalogue.
In this tutorial we'll learn:
- How media source plugins relate to Media Types
- The responsibilities of a media source plugin
By the end of this tutorial you should be able to define the role of a media source plugin and understand what's required to define your own.
