Tech Tip: Component priority order
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 20 R5 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: November 18, 2024

As components can be installed in multiple ways, please note that there is a priority order when the same component is referenced at several locations.

The priority going from highest to lowest are:

  1. Components in the Components folder of the project
  2. Components declared in the dependencies.json (if environment4d.json has a declared path, the path overrides the dependencies.json path to configure a local environment)
  3. Internal User 4D Components (ex: 4D Netkit, 4D SVG, etc.)
