    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:

```bash
# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed
npm create uni@latest
