Architecture

Drizzle Cube adapters follow a consistent pattern:

// Initialize your semantic layer
const cubes = [usersCube, ordersCube, productsCube];
const semanticLayer = createSemanticLayer({ cubes });

// Create framework-specific adapter
const adapter = createExpressAdapter(semanticLayer, {
  // Framework-specific configuration
  auth: (req) => ({ userId: req.user.id }),
  errorHandler: (error, req, res, next) => { /* handle errors */ }
});

// Mount to your framework
app.use('/api/cube', adapter);
