@abeai/node-redis

Wrapper for ioredis.

Overview

The redis module provides promisified redis commands.

Installation

npm install @abeai/node-redis

Instantiation

With afterInitialization hook

const redis = require('@abeai/node-redis');

redis.init(host, options);

// Will wait until the redis client is created and connected to server
redis.afterInitialization(function() {
	redis.client().get('some_key')
	    .then((value) => {
	        console.log(value);
	    })
	    .catch((err) => {
	        console.log(err, 'Failed to get some_key');
	    })
	;
});

Without afterInitialization hook

const redis = require('@abeai/node-redis');

redis.init(host, options);
redis.client().get('some_key')
    .then((value) => {
        console.log(value);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.log(err, 'Failed to get some_key');
    })
;

Interface

init(host[, options])

Creates a new redis client instance.

Options

afterInitialization()
