-## ⚙ Configs
+### Attention
+
+All component-related rules are being applied to code that passes any of the following checks:
+
+* `Vue.component()` expression
+* `export default {}` in `.vue` or `.jsx` file
+
+If you however want to take advantage of our rules in any of your custom objects that are Vue components, you might need to use special comment `// @vue/component` that marks object in the next line as a Vue component in any file, e.g.:
+
+```js
+// @vue/component
+const CustomComponent = {
+  name: 'custom-component',
+  template: '<div></div>'
+}
+```
+```js
+Vue.component('AsyncComponent', (resolve, reject) => {
+  setTimeout(() => {
+    // @vue/component
+    resolve({
+      name: 'async-component',
+      template: '<div></div>'
+    })
+  }, 500)
+})
