About The Project

Features

• Both redis & cluster are supported: You can also specify multiple instances.
• Health: Checks health of redis & cluster server.
• Rigorously tested: With 100+ tests and 100% code coverage.
• Decorators: Injects redis & cluster clients via @InjectRedis(), @InjectCluster().
• Services: Retrieves redis & cluster clients via RedisService, ClusterService.
• Testing: Generates an injection token via getRedisToken, getClusterToken.

FAQs

Circular dependency ⚠️

Click to expand

A circular dependency might also be caused when using "barrel files"/index.ts files to group imports. Barrel files should be omitted when it comes to module/provider classes. For example, barrel files should not be used when importing files within the same directory as the barrel file, i.e. cats/cats.controller should not import cats to import the cats/cats.service file. For more details please also see this github issue.

"Cannot resolve dependency" error

Click to expand

If you encountered an error like this:

Nest can't resolve dependencies of the <provider> (?). Please make sure that the argument <unknown_token> at index [<index>] is available in the <module> context.

Potential solutions:
- If <unknown_token> is a provider, is it part of the current <module>?
- If <unknown_token> is exported from a separate @Module, is that module imported within <module>?
  @Module({
    imports: [ /* the Module containing <unknown_token> */ ]
  })

Please make sure that the RedisModule is added directly to the imports array of @Module() decorator of "Root Module"(if isGlobal is true) or "Feature Module"(if isGlobal is false).

Examples of code:

// redis-config.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { RedisModuleOptions, RedisOptionsFactory } from '@liaoliaots/nestjs-redis';

@Injectable()
export class RedisConfigService implements RedisOptionsFactory {
  createRedisOptions(): RedisModuleOptions {
    return {
      readyLog: true,
      config: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 6379,
        password: 'authpassword'
      }
    };
  }
}

✅ Correct

// app.module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { RedisModule } from '@liaoliaots/nestjs-redis';
import { RedisConfigService } from './redis-config.service';

@Module({
  imports: [
    RedisModule.forRootAsync({
      useClass: RedisConfigService
    })
  ]
})
export class AppModule {}

❌ Incorrect

// my-redis.module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { RedisModule } from '@liaoliaots/nestjs-redis';
import { RedisConfigService } from './redis-config.service';

@Module({
  imports: [
    RedisModule.forRootAsync({
      useClass: RedisConfigService
    })
  ]
})
export class MyRedisModule {}

// app.module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { MyRedisModule } from './my-redis.module';

@Module({
  imports: [MyRedisModule]
})
export class AppModule {}

Roadmap

• Compatible with NestJS ^9
• Flexible custom logger
• Add some examples for TLS
