+## :book: Rule Details
+
+This rule reports directives that are used in the `<template>`, but that are not registered in the `<script setup>` or the Options API's `directives` section.
+
+Undefined directives will be resolved from globally registered directives. However, if you are not using global directives, you can use this rule to prevent runtime errors.
+
+<eslint-code-block :rules="{'vue/no-undef-directives': ['error']}">
+
+```vue
+<script setup>
+import vFocus from './vFocus';
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <!-- ✓ GOOD -->
+  <input v-focus>
+
+  <!-- ✗ BAD -->
+  <div v-foo></div>
+</template>

+```json
+{

+    "ignore": ["foo"]
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+- `"ignore"` (`string[]`) An array of directive names or regular expression patterns (e.g. `"/^custom-/"`) that ignore these rules. This option will check both kebab-case and PascalCase versions of the given directive names. Default is empty.
+
+### `"ignore": ["foo"]`
