Latest Release GitHub license

Cube.js driver for Metabase. With this driver you can connect your Cube.js server to Metabase just like a DB.
Metabase fetches all schemas (cubes) and that's all: you can make queries, filter the results and create beautiful charts and dashboards.

Explanation:

Cube.js Metabase
measure metric & field
dimension field
time dimension field

NOTE: The driver is under development so expect some bugs and missing features. If you find one please create an issue.

Features

Working

  • Auto generate data model from the schema fetched from the Cube.js API meta endpoint
  • Auto create metrics from the measures. (These metrics are "invalid" when you try to edit them but still usable in queries.)
  • native queries with variables
  • custom questions
  • filters, orders, limit

Not working

  • Aggregations like sum, count and distinct. This must be done in Cube.js not in Metabase.
