Heya, is there a good example somewhere of a middleware build? maybe in the core zed namespace? https://documentation.spryker.com/docs/spryker-middleware#how-the-middleware-works

This is telling my to build some files, but it's not immediately clear how to arrange them...

End goal here is to spike out middleware that imports some data from an xml/json/csv, looks like maybe I need a data importer and then I can call that from somewhere within the layers of the middleware

looks like maybe this will provide some context: https://github.com/spryker-eco/akeneo-pim-middleware-connector/blob/master/src/SprykerEco/Zed/AkeneoPimMiddlewareConnector/Communication/Plugin/Configuration/DefaultProductImportConfigurationPlugin.php

Although it would be great to have a more minimal example. We'll see how this goes...

That was a bit rough. Docs could use some work. Is there some way I can build this in stages to verify each step, i.e. the reader reads a file and idk var dumps somewhere or logs somewhere?

There is a branch created two years ago to demo integration with Akeneo PIM using middleware.

Thanks @valerii.trots Not actually trying to integrate Akeneo, want to build a middleware spike that reads a test file through the process: csv, json, xml... file type isn't important. Developing a proof of concept middleware that follows Spryker best practices and reads a file into the db. Was using the Akeneo integration as an example, but I'm guessing there is a much simpler way to go about it...

I'll put some work in to clarify today.
