File API Routes Not Working?
Followed the instructions in the docs to setup a demo project. Added files for API routes and the code autogenerated as expected! However, I keep getting Not Found when I hit the routes in the browser. Am I missing a step?

If you plan on using API routes, probably yes

I am unsure if the CLI is final yet, so I'd follow this: https://tanstack.com/router/latest/docs/framework/react/start/build-from-scratch
