In this Quick Tip, we're going to learn about expressions.

At its core Bubble is a visual programming language and part of that language is understanding how we write expressions. We write expressions from left to right, with the final operator or field being the final evaluation. To build expressions, we get the data source and then we use a field or operator to complete it.

Here's an expression you've probably seen a few times: Current user is the data source and email is the field.

Here's another expression: Search for users is our data source, :first item is our operator, and Name is our field.

The rule of thumb is that your expression will always start with the data source and end with either an operator, field, or even a calculation.

Bubble then interprets these expressions and displays it live in run-mode with the result.

That's it for this Quick Tip! For more, be sure to check out bubble.io/academy.
