@trotttrotttrott Is there a reason this PR wasn't viewed/merged yet?

FWIW we are using this change in production (thanks @s-starostin)

hello,

thanks for this. I would inline newTransformation. Why is that a new file?

Hello, can't understand you. Could you explain what you mean, please?

[roidelapluie]

yes:

transformation.libsonnet

That file does not seem needed, we could do everything in table.libsonnet.

[s-starostin]

But transformations can be applied not only for tables, but for other entities too (stat panels, for example).
I can't imagine a real case on applying those for other types now. For tables the case is clear and this is a really useful feature.

[dclendenan]

I think that making it inline within table would clutter that file, especially if the transformation object evolves to be more complex. The new file seems a better design option to me.

[roidelapluie]

thanks, the reasoning makes sense!
