  cache.get('my key', function (error, value) {

    if (error) throw error;

    console.log(value); //-> {foo:"bar"}

API

CachemanRedis([options])

Create cacheman-redis instance. options are redis valid options including port and host.

var options = {
  port: 9999,
  host: '127.0.0.1',
  password: 'my-p@ssw0rd'
  database: 1
};

var cache = new CachemanRedis(options);

You can also pass a redis connection string as first arguments like this:

var cache = new CachemanRedis('redis://127.0.0.1:6379');

Or pass a redis client instance directly as client:

var client = redis.createClient();

var cache = new CachemanRedis(client);

// or
cache = new CachemanRedis({ client: client });

cache.set(key, value, [ttl, [fn]])

Stores or updates a value.

cache.set('foo', { a: 'bar' }, function (err, value) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(value); //-> {a:'bar'}
});

Or add a TTL(Time To Live) in seconds like this:

// key will expire in 60 seconds
cache.set('foo', { a: 'bar' }, 60, function (err, value) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(value); //-> {a:'bar'}
});

cache.get(key, fn)

Retrieves a value for a given key, if there is no value for the given key a null value will be returned.

cache.get(function (err, value) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(value);
});

cache.del(key, [fn])

Deletes a key out of the cache.

cache.del('foo', function (err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  // foo was deleted
});

cache.clear([fn])

Clear the cache entirely, throwing away all values.

cache.clear(function (err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  // cache is now clear
});

cache.scan(cursor, count, [fn])

Scan cache from a cursor point and return a count of values

cache.set('foo', { a: 'bar' }, 10, function (err) {
  cache.scan(0, 10, function (err, result) {
    console.log(result) // { cursor: 0, entries: [{ key: 'foo', data: { a: 'bar' } }] }
  });
});
