lkml2cube 0.2.5

Looker ML to Cube converter

lkml2cube

lkml2cube is a tool that converts LookML models into Cube data models.

Usage

There are two main commands, cubes and views. Both commands read all the files in the provided input parameter, including those referenced by the LookML keyword includes. The difference is that the cubes command only creates Cube's cube model definitions, while the views command creates cube and view model definitions. LookML syntax defines the join relationships at the explore level (equivalent to Cube's view). That's why explores need special treatment and why they are ignored in the lkml2cube cubes command.

Install

pip install lkml2cube

Convert LookML views into Cube YAML definition.

lkml2cube cubes path/to/file.view.lkml --outputdir examples/

Show Python dict representation of the LookerML object

Convert LookML Explores into Cube's views YAML definition.

lkml2cube views path/to/file.explore.lkml --outputdir examples/

Use the --rootdir parameter to prepend a path for all include: paths.
