Many times you want to execute an operation over a list of entities. Sometimes you will want to retroactively apply a default value to a certain field, other times you will want to export the articles tagged as Drupal to a CSV file, etc.
This drush command simplifies that process for you. You only need to write the callback function that does your operation, given an entity. All valid callbacks will receive the entity type as the first argument and the loaded entity as the second parameter.
The drush command will let you select the entities on which you want to apply the command and do it in batches for you while showing the progress in the command line screen.
Entity Process Callback always receives an entity type as the primary filter. If you need to apply the same command to multiple entity types you will need to run it several times, once for every entity type.
Beyond the entity type filter you can narrow your selection by using the following filters:
- By ID. Provide a list of IDs to process.
- By bundle. You can select the bundles that you want to limit the entities that will be affected.
- By property and field values. Only process the entities that match a certain value in a given field.
