How to programmatically alter feed item values before saving

Question

Feeds Tamper does this job, which allows me to "tamper" with feed items' values before saving it to an entity.

My question is how can I do that programmatically in Drupal 8 with a custom module.

Answer 1

Thanks to No Sssweat, I managed to use an EventSubscriber using afterParse event to do this job.

File 1: mycustommodule/mycustommodule.services.yml

services:
 mycustommodule.feeds_subscriber:
   class: Drupal\mycustommodule\EventSubscriber\FeedsSubscriber
   tags:
     - {name: event_subscriber}

File 2: mycustommodule/src/EventSubscriber/FeedsSubscriber.php

<?php

namespace Drupal\mycustommodule\EventSubscriber;

use Drupal\feeds\Event\FeedsEvents;
use Drupal\feeds\Event\ParseEvent;
use Drupal\feeds\Feeds\Item\ItemInterface;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;

/**
 * Subscriber to Feeds events.
 *
 * This happens after parsing and before going
 * into processing.
 */
class FeedsSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface {

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public static function getSubscribedEvents() {
    $events[FeedsEvents::PARSE][] = ['afterParse', FeedsEvents::AFTER];
    return $events;
  }

  /**
   * Acts on parser result.
   */
  public function afterParse(ParseEvent $event) {

    /** @var \Drupal\feeds\FeedInterface $feed */
    $feed = $event->getFeed();
    $feed_bundle_name = $feed->bundle();

    // Only alter a particular feed
    if ($feed_bundle_name == "MY_FEED_IMPORTER_MACHINE_NAME") {

      /** @var \Drupal\feeds\Result\ParserResultInterface $result */
      $result = $event->getParserResult();

      for ($i = 0; $i < $result->count(); $i++) {
        if (!$result->offsetExists($i)) {
          break;
        }

        /** @var \Drupal\feeds\Feeds\Item\ItemInterface $item */
        $item = $result->offsetGet($i);

        /**
         *
         * My custom code here using $item->get() and $item->set()
         * to alter whatever values I want.
         *
         */
      }
    }
  }
