Activecube::Graphql

The gem simplifies building GraphQL interfaces to analytical databases (OLAP). For OLAP queries we use Activecube gem. Graphql is implemented by Graphql gem.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'activecube-graphql'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install activecube-graphql

Activecube must be mapped to a field using the following construct:

field_class Activecube::Graphql::CubeField

field :cube_name, [Response],  cube: CubeClass, null: true  do
  # cube arguments go here...
end

where:

• CubeClass is the class of your Activecube ( typically defined in Models)
• Response is the class for response. Typically it lists all possible metrics and dimensions

NOTE! All fields that used as dimensions and metrics, MUST have an extra field 'ast_node' defined as:

    field :field, Types::Dimension::Field, extras: [:ast_node], null: true do
      argument :select, [FieldSelector], required: false
    end

If you have multiple database connections for many cubes, it can be convinient to define the mapping on the top level of GraphQL type:

field :connect, CubeFieldClass, null: false do
  argument :database, Types::Enum::Databases, required: false
end

def your_field method, *args
  {
      database: args[0]  ? args[0][:database].to_sym : method.to_sym
  }
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
