Running "json-server --watch ./data/db.json --port 8000 --routes ./data/routes.json" results in the error "Unknown option '--routes'"

[SteveGFortescue]

I can't see this issue documented anywhere else and have tried different versions of json-server

Running on Apple M1 Pro
Node: 20.9.0
json-server: 1.0.0-alpha.23

Have tried running from npx, json-server as global as well as local and both.
running the following json-server --watch ./data/db.json --port 8000 --routes ./data/routes.json results in the error below

`npx json-server --watch ./data/db.json --port 8000 --routes ./data/routes.json

Unknown option '--routes'
Usage: json-server [options]

Options:
-p, --port Port (default: 3000)
-h, --host Host (default: localhost)
-s, --static

Static files directory (multiple allowed)
--help Show this message
--version Show version number`

The documentation says --routes is an option but the package in npm does not contain it?

[homj]

afaik this option is not available in 1.0.0
The documentation for --routes only refers to 0.x.x releases

[hamidmayeli]

Will this option be available in the final v1 version?

[leeyh20]

How else can we make API routes that are level 2 or deeper? For example /api/users ?

I went back to older version

It doesn't make sense to remove a feature after it's been out?
