Intro

Domo Bricks (formerly DDX Bricks) are pre-built objects that allow you to create advanced visualizations and apps that can be customized by simply copying and pasting code. With Domo Bricks, business users, citizen developers, and full-stack developers can quickly iterate, prototype, and compose new apps with beautiful and advanced features. You can choose from bricks available in the Domo Appstore, or use Domo Bricks to render a new library you found online by copying and pasting. You can use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to completely customize your brick. These new custom solutions visuals are immediately rendered and can be easily updated within your Domo instance. The default editor for Domo Bricks is Monaco, which powers VS Code.
Important: AppDB in Domo Bricks is blocked in public embed contexts due to security concerns and trust requirements.

FAQ

It is not possible to share edit access with Domo Bricks; only the user who installed the app can edit it. You can use Save as to make a copy of the app.
Changing the data in your brick does not automatically update the preview. When you save the app, any changes to the data or code can be previewed by selecting Run.
