Update a component type

PATCH
/component-types/{id}
 
curl --request PATCH \
  --url https://example.com/api/v1/component-types/example \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "abbrev": "example", "default_tags": [ "example" ], "icon": "example", "label": "example", "label_rule": "example", "stem": "example" }'

Patches a component_type’s label, stem, icon, abbrev, label_rule, or default_tags. A shipped (official) row is never written: the patch FORKS it, storing your version over the shipped one, and the response comes back with forked=true under the same id. :restore discards the fork. Gated by component_type:update.

Request Body required

Media type application/json
object
$schema

A URL to the JSON Schema for this object.

A new compact form; an empty string clears it, so this type inherits the nearest ancestor’s again

string
default_tags

Replaces the default-tag set; omit to leave unchanged

Array<string>
icon

A new glyph key; an empty string clears it, so this type inherits the nearest ancestor’s again

string
label

A new operator-facing label

string
label_rule

A new label template; an empty string clears it, so instances fall back to the nearest ancestor’s rule and then the global component rule. Refused with 422 if it does not parse.

string
stem

A new name prefix (lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens); an empty string CLEARS it, so this type inherits the nearest ancestor’s again. A root type has no ancestor to inherit from and is refused (422).

string
id
required

The component_type’s uuid, the stable handle that survives a rename

string
inherited_abbrev

The abbrev this type would take if it stated none: the nearest ancestor’s. Absent when no ancestor states one. Served on the registry listing, on the same terms as resolved_icon

string
inherited_abbrev_source

The name of the ancestor component_type inherited_abbrev comes from, which may be further up the chain than the parent

string
inherited_icon

The glyph this type would take if it stated none: the nearest ancestor’s. Absent when no ancestor states one. Served on the registry listing, on the same terms as resolved_icon

string
inherited_icon_source

The name of the ancestor component_type inherited_icon comes from, which may be further up the chain than the parent

string
inherited_stem

The stem this type would take if it stated none: the nearest ancestor’s. Absent when no ancestor states one. Served on the registry listing, on the same terms as resolved_icon

string
inherited_stem_source

The name of the ancestor component_type inherited_stem comes from, which may be further up the chain than the parent

The label template instances of this type get; empty inherits the nearest ancestor’s, then the global rule for components

string
name
required

The name an operator reads and types; renameable

string
parent_id

The parent component_type’s id, the canonical handle; absent for a root type

string
resolved_icon

The glyph this type shows: its own icon, else the nearest ancestor’s. Served on the registry listing, where the whole chain is already in hand; a single-row write response does not carry it

string
