Sails CubeJS Glue

this package is intended to make a glue for cubejs and sails framework.

With this method, you can still use sails's functionalities like policy as it is.

Installation

to install is just straight forward:

• with npm: npm i sails-cubejs-glue
• with yarn: yarn add sails-cubejs-glue

Example Action

this is lazy method, that do everything one the action. (bootstrap and proxying).

Althought its better idea to use sails's hook for bootstrapping and action only proxying, this example is enough:

ON api/controllers/cube.js:

/* api/controllers/cube.js */
 
var glue = require('./sails-cubejs-glue');
 
var cubeApp = null;
const schemas = [
  {
    fileName: 'Orders.js',
    content: `
      cube('Orders', {
        sql: 'SELECT * FROM orders',
        measures: {
          countAll: {
            type: 'count'
          },
        }
      });
    `
  }
]
 
 
module.exports = async (req, res) => {
  if (cubeApp === null) cubeApp = await glue.bootstrap(schemas, {basePath: '/cube'});
 
  glue.createProxy(cubeApp)(req, res);
}
 

ON config/routes.js add the graphql route:

module.exports.routes = {
  ...
  '/cube/*': { action: 'cube' },
};
