Plugin Order Best Practices
When using multiple uni-helper Vite plugins, the recommended order is:
// vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
UniComponents(), // 1. Component auto-import
UniPages(), // 2. File-based routing
UniLayouts(), // 3. Layout system
UniManifest(), // 4. Manifest generation
UniPlatform(), // 5. Platform-specific files
UniPlatformModifier(), // 6. Platform modifiers
UniMiddleware(), // 7. Route middleware
Uni(), // 8. Official uni-app plugin (always last)
],
})
Quick Start
Create a new uni-app project with create-uni:
# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed
npm create uni@latest
# pnpm
pnpm create uni
# yarn
yarn create uni
