apiFetch(path, opts) — api.mjsAll HTTP calls to the OmniRoute server must go through this wrapper.
import { apiFetch } from "./api.mjs";
const res = await apiFetch("/api/health");
if (!res.ok) await res.assertOk(); // throws ApiError with mapped exit code
const data = await res.json();
Options:
baseUrl — override base URL (default: OMNIROUTE_BASE_URL env or localhost:20128)apiKey — override API key (default: OMNIROUTE_API_KEY)method, body, headers — standard fetch optionstimeout — per-attempt ms (default: 30000)retry — false to disable (default: enabled)retryMax — total attempts (default: 3)verbose — log retry attempts to stderrwithRuntime(fn, opts) — runtime.mjsProvides server-first / DB-fallback transparently.
import { withRuntime } from "./runtime.mjs";
await withRuntime(async (ctx) => {
if (ctx.kind === "http") {
const res = await ctx.api("/v1/providers");
return res.json();
}
return ctx.db.prepare("SELECT * FROM provider_connections").all();
});
opts.requireServer = true — throws ServerOfflineError (exit 3) if offlineopts.preferDb = true — always use DB (skip server check)t(key, vars) — i18n.mjsInternationalized strings. Catalog loaded from locales/{locale}.json.
import { t } from "./i18n.mjs";
console.log(t("common.serverOffline"));
console.log(t("setup.testFailed", { error: err.message }));
Locale detection order: OMNIROUTE_LANG → LC_ALL → LC_MESSAGES → LANG → en.
emit(data, opts) — output.mjsFormat-aware output. Reads opts.output to select table/json/jsonl/csv.
import { emit, printError, EXIT_CODES } from "./output.mjs";
emit(providers, { output: opts.output ?? "table" });
printError("Something went wrong");
process.exit(EXIT_CODES.SERVER_OFFLINE);
The CLI displays text in the user's language. Detection order:
--lang <code> flag on the command lineOMNIROUTE_LANG environment variableLC_ALL → LC_MESSAGES → LANGenSet permanently:
omniroute config lang set pt-BR # saves to ~/.omniroute/.env
omniroute config lang list # show all 42 available locales
omniroute config lang get # show currently active locale
One-time override:
omniroute --lang de providers list # run in German, not persisted
OMNIROUTE_LANG=ja omniroute status # same effect via env
Adding a new locale: add entry to config/i18n.json, then run:
node bin/cli/scripts/generate-locales.mjs
