Search API Field Datasource
This module allows you to use a specific field on a content entity as the unique identifier for tracking items in a search index. This is useful when you need to synchronize with external systems that use custom identifiers instead of Drupal's internal entity IDs.
This module provides a Search API datasource that allows you to key your tracking IDs by a field on a content entity.
Some use cases include
- Limited ability to query the indexing backend and the indexing key needs to match the remote key.
- Custom keying where remote keying needs to match a remote source. For example, an enterprise identifier.
