Support Cube's YAML syntax

Great project, kudos! 🙏

As far as I see, Droughty generates JavaScript-based Cube data models.

It might be more friendly to Droughty's end users (e.g., data engineers) if it's also able to generate Cube data models using new YAML syntax (https://cube.dev/blog/introducing-cube-support-for-yaml-data-modeling, https://cube.dev/docs/schema/fundamentals/working-with-yaml).

It would be great to have both options available since, as of today, YAML is still not on par with JavaScript, feature-wise. For instance, dynamic data models are only possible with JavaScript.

@igorlukanin - I'll put this on the roadmap, I already have a YAML parser in use so this shouldn't take too long

+1 to YAML being way easier to work with from a programatic code generation standpoint.

We converted the yaml config from cube into dataclasses, and write out the dataclass with yaml dumper. Way easier to write & read the code.

We're doing something similar at our company which is how I stumbled into this project. Very interested in seeing how this project evolves!

Hi @darapuk - Thanks for adding to this. This is in my roadmap, I'll update here once released
