redis-on-workers

Connect to your Redis server using cloudflare:sockets.

This package is designed to work with Cloudflare Workers, but it can also be used in node.js thanks to the implementation of cloudflare:sockets for node.js.

Installation

npm install redis-on-workers

Usage

Minimal

This is the minimal example to connect to a Redis server.

import { createRedis } from "redis-on-workers";

const redis = createRedis("redis://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>");

await redis.send("SET", "foo", "bar");

const value = await redis.send("GET", "foo");

console.log(value); // bar

// remember to close the connection after use, or use `redis.sendOnce`.
await redis.close();

Raw Uint8Array

This is useful if you want to store binary data. For example, you can store protobuf messages in Redis.

import { createRedis } from "redis-on-workers";

const redis = createRedis("redis://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>");

await redis.sendRaw("SET", "foo", "bar");

const value = await redis.sendRawOnce("GET", "foo");

const decoder = new TextDecoder();

console.log(decoder.decode(value)); // bar

Node.js

Please install the node.js polyfill for cloudflare:sockets to use this package in node.js.

npm install @arrowood.dev/socket
