# RulesMode

enum RulesMode(source)

The rules mode determines how component metadata rules should be applied.

## Entries

PREFER_PROJECT

PREFER_PROJECT

If this mode is set, any component metadata rule declared on a project will cause the project to use the rules declared by the project, ignoring those declared in settings. This is the default behavior.

PREFER_SETTINGS

PREFER_SETTINGS

If this mode is set, any component metadata rule declared directly in a project, either directly or via a plugin, will be ignored.

FAIL_ON_PROJECT_RULES
