Module usage

const parseRedisUrl = require('parse-redis-url-simple')

// Defaults to localhost:6379/0
parseRedisUrl()
//=> [{host: 'localhost', port: 6379, database: '0', password: undefined}]
parseRedisUrl('redis://')
//=> [{host: 'localhost', port: 6379, database: '0', password: undefined}]

// But you can change databases by adding a path
parseRedisUrl('redis:///1')
//=> [{host: 'localhost', port: 6379, database: '1', password: undefined}]

// Many instances
parseRedisUrl('redis://barhost.com:39143/,redis://foohost.com:39143/')
//=> [{host: 'barhost.com', port: 39143, database: '0', password: undefined}, 
//=>  {host: 'foohost.com', port: 39143, database: '0', password: undefined}]

// And even add passwords
parseRedisUrl('redis://[e-mail]:39143/')
parseRedisUrl('redis://:[e-mail]:39143/')
//=> [{host: 'foohost.com', port: 39143, database: '0', password: 'n9y25ah7'}]

// If you add a username, it's ignored
parseRedisUrl('redis://user:[e-mail]:39143/')
//=> [{host: 'foohost.com', port: 39143, database: '0', password: 'hunter2'}]

// For sentinels: just set parameter sentinel=true
parseRedisUrl('barhost.com:39143,foohost.com:39143,foobarhost.com:39143', sentinel=true)
//=> [{host: 'barhost.com', port: 39143},{host: 'foohost.com', port: 39143},{host: 'foobarhost.com', port: 39143}]

Prior art

All implementations

• parse-redis-url
• redis-url
• redis-url-parser
• redis-url-parse

are not maintained or not for production use. It looks they were implemented only for testing purposes. Usually there have been more than one redis server in production. Moreover sometimes it is implemented via cluster or sentinel.
