Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I update my cube code, I need to

  1. refresh the playground in the browser
  2. Click the Schema tab and then back to the Build Tab To get the playground to refresh it's measures/dimensions with the new changes

Describe the solution you'd like I would like a refresh button that updates the measures/dimensions without needing to refresh/switch between tabs.

Research direction
Look into the Cube.js playground's frontend code, specifically the components for Schema and Build tabs. The refresh button should trigger a re fetch of cube metadata via the existing API endpoint. Consider adding a state management solution to update measures/dimensions without page refresh. Test the implementation manually.
