## Expressions service
Expression service exposes a registry of reusable functions primary used for fetching and transposing data and a registry of renderer functions that can render data into a DOM element.
Adding functions is easy and so is reusing them. An expression is a chain of functions with provided arguments, which given a single input translates to a single output.

Here is a very simple expression string:
essql 'select column1, column2 from myindex' | mapColumn name=column3 fn='{ column1 + 3 }' | table
```
essql 'select column1, column2 from myindex' | mapColumn name=column3 fn='{ column1 + 3 }' | table
```
It consists of 3 functions:
- essql which runs given sql query against elasticsearch and returns the results
- `mapColumn`, which computes a new column from existing ones;
- `table`, which prepares the data for rendering in a tabular format.
The same expression could also be constructed in the code:
