Bricks & Legend

In Olympe, bricks can be marked with different icons to indicate their status or special characteristics. Below is a legend explaining the meaning of each icon:

Deprecated: This icon indicates that the brick is deprecated and no longer actively maintained or recommended for use. It is typically used for older projects or features that are no longer supported. This status is settable through the 'Spec&Doc' tab inside the respective editor.

Experimental: The experimental icon denotes that the brick is in an experimental stage and may not have undergone thorough testing or validation. It is subject to change and should be used with caution. This status is settable through the 'Spec&Doc' tab inside the respective editor.

Unused: This icon signifies that the brick is currently unused or not actively being worked on. It may represent projects that are temporarily on hold or no longer in use but have not been deprecated. This status is settable through the 'Spec&Doc' tab inside the respective editor.

Protected: The protected icon indicates that the brick is protected and cannot be edited by developers who do not have the Maintainer's role. This is often used for completed, critical or sensitive part of code that require restricted access. This status is set in the three-dot menu which can be found in the top-right corner when you hover over the brick. Folders can be protected as well: when a folder is protected, all bricks recursively contained inside that folder behave as protected bricks. This is a way to protect a whole set of critical items of a project at once.

Public: The public icon denotes that the brick is set as importable, meaning it can be accessed and used by other users within the Olympe platform. This status is generally settable through the 'Spec & Doc' tab inside the respective editor. Some components have it located in different places. For example, Data Types have the Public toggle located directly on itself. In Enums you will find it in the 'Visibility' dropdown.
