Router

Status: Alpha – this is under active development and interfaces/behavior are subject to change.

CLI

CLI install

pnpm add -g @morpho-dev/router

• Router configuration is read from a TOML file
• router start accepts --config-file (or ROUTER_CONFIG_FILE/./router.toml)
• Indexer chains can be selected in TOML ([indexer].chains) or at runtime with --chains
• Seed mock offers with --mock <n> for testing
• Load offers from JSON file with --file <path>
• When [indexer] is enabled, a monitoring server is started (default :8083) exposing /readyz and /metrics
• API /metrics is API-only (HTTP/process telemetry)
• Indexer /metrics is the source of truth for sync gauges (router_collector_block_number, router_chain_block_number, router_chain_remote_block_number)
• Collector lag is derived in PromQL (remote - collector) and is no longer emitted as router_collector_lag_blocks

Examples:

# Start router from a config file
router start --config-file ./router.toml

# Start router using the env fallback
ROUTER_CONFIG_FILE=./router.toml router start

# Start router indexer only on one chain (when [indexer].chains is omitted)
router start --config-file ./router.toml --chains ethereum

# Start router with mock offers for testing
router start --config-file ./router.toml --mock 100

# Start router with offers loaded from file
router start --config-file ./router.toml --file offers.json

Chain

Use router chain to manage the anvil chain for dev and E2E workflows.

# Start a chain and emit JSON status
router chain start --output json

# Check chain status
router chain status --output json

# Stop the chain and purge state
router chain stop --purge

Example router.toml:

[logging]
level = "info"

[database]
url_env = "DATABASE_URL"

[api]
port = 7891
timeout_ms = 10000

[indexer]
block_window = 8000
metrics_port = 8083
# interval = 10000
# interval_by_chain = { base = 500, ethereum = 10000 }
# chains = ["ethereum"]
# If omitted, `router start` indexes all chains defined under [chains]

[chains."ethereum"]
rpc_url_env = "ETHEREUM_RPC_URL"
