import { ESQL, E } from '@elastic/elasticsearch-esql-dsl'

const client = new Client({ node: 'http://localhost:9200' })

const query = ESQL.from('employees')
  .where(E('still_hired').eq(true))
  .sort(E('last_name').asc())
  .limit(10)

const response = await client.esql.query({ query: query.render() })
```
