How can I set the gas price using ethers.js on uniswap

Question

I'm trying to create a transaction but I can't figure out how to set the gas price. Here's my current code, but according to https://uniswap.org/docs/v2/smart-contracts/router02/#swapexacttokensfortokens there is nowhere to define gas price if I'd like to have a fast transaction

  const tx = await router.swapExactTokensForTokens(
    amountIn,
    amountOutMin,
    [WETH_ADDRESS, CONTRACT],
    RECIPIENT,
    Date.now() + 1000 * 60 * 10 //10 minutes
  );

Code below is how I create the router

const router = new ethers.Contract(
  UNISWAP_ROUTER,
  [
    'function getAmountsOut(uint amountIn, address[] memory path) public view returns (uint[] memory amounts)',
    'function swapExactTokensForTokens(uint amountIn, uint amountOutMin, address[] calldata path, address to, uint deadline) external returns (uint[] memory amounts)'
  ],
  account
);

Have you managed to do this? Im sorry i know this is answer only but I’m curious... ive been searching the internet up and down — Aaron Klich, May 04 '21 at 09:05

You can specify the transaction fields when calling a contract function like so:

 var options = { gasPrice: 1000000000}; // in wei
const tx = await router.swapExactTokensForTokens(
    amountIn,
    amountOutMin,
    [WETH_ADDRESS, CONTRACT],
    RECIPIENT,
    Date.now() + 1000 * 60 * 10, //10 minutes
    options
  );
