Examples

Run this code
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(dwtools))

# populate csv
star <- dw.populate(1e5, scenario="star")
invisible(lapply(names(star), function(tbl) write.table(star[[tbl]], file = paste(tolower(tbl),"csv",sep="."), sep=";", row.names = FALSE, col.names = TRUE, append = FALSE)))

# define source
fact <- c(fact = "sales.csv")
dims <- c(time = "time.csv", geography = "geography.csv", currency = "currency.csv", customer = "customer.csv", product = "product.csv")

# build CUBE
cube <- CUBE$new(
  fact = list(sales = fread(fact)),
  dim = lapply(dims, function(x){ dt <- fread(x); setkeyv(dt,names(dt)[1]) }),

)

# remove csv files
invisible(file.remove(c(fact, dims)))

## preview CUBE object

print(cube)

cube$dimList[["geography"]] # geography dim data types
lapply(cube$dimList, names) # column names
