Matrix Field

Sprout Import supports importing Matrix fields on any supported Element using the Matrix; any number of block types; all supported fields used on those block types; and matching relational content and resolving relationships on block types. Hooray!

# Matrix Syntax

Here is an example of an Entry Model with a Matrix field and two blocks. When importing matrix blocks you will need to name each item in the matrix block array with the new prefix and increment each block by one: new1, new2, new3:

[     {     "@model": "EntryModel",     "attributes": { ... },     "content": {       "title": "Aliquid vero ut libero nostrum soluta.",       "fields": {         "subheading": "Unde ut enim sed maxime.",         "articleBody": {           "new1": {             "type": "heading",             "enabled": 1,             "fields": {               "heading": "Hic suscipit esse temporibus quia."             }           },           "new2": {             "type": "image",             "enabled": 1,             "fields": {               "image": [223],               "caption": "Deserunt quam cupiditate fugit et dolorem saepe."             }           }         }       }     }   } ] 

# Matrix with Relationships

If you have Relations on your Matrix Blocks, you can also use the related key:

[     {     "@model": "EntryModel",     "attributes": { ... },     "content": {       "title": "Aliquid vero ut libero nostrum soluta.",       "fields": {         "subheading": "Unde ut enim sed maxime.",         "articleBody": {           "new1": {             "type": "heading",             "enabled": 1,             "fields": {               "heading": "Hic suscipit esse temporibus quia."             }           },           "new2": {             "type": "image",             "enabled": 1,             "fields": {               "caption": "Deserunt quam cupiditate fugit et dolorem saepe."             },             "related": {               "assetsFieldHandle": {                 "@model": "AssetModel",                 "matchBy": "filename",                 "matchValue": ["ImageName03.jpg"],                 "matchCriteria": {                   "source": "images",                   "folderId": 8                 }               }             }           }         }       }     }   } ]
