cubejs-metabase-driver

Cube.js driver for Metabase.

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

Features

• Auto generate data model from the schema fetched from the Cube.js API
• Auto create metrics from the measures. (These metrics are "invalid" when you try to edit them but still usable in queries.)
• Support for native queries
• Support for custom questions
