redis-commands

What is redis-commands?

The redis-commands npm package provides a comprehensive list of Redis commands, including their names, arity, flags, and other metadata. It is useful for developers who need to interact with Redis and want to programmatically access command information.

What are redis-commands's main functionalities?

Get All Commands

This feature allows you to retrieve a list of all Redis commands. The `commands.list` property contains an array of all command names.

const commands = require('redis-commands');
console.log(commands.list);

Get Command Details

This feature allows you to get detailed information about a specific Redis command. The `commands.get('set')` method returns an object with details such as arity, flags, and other metadata for the 'set' command.

const commands = require('redis-commands');
console.log(commands.get('set'));

Check Command Existence

This feature allows you to check if a specific Redis command exists. The `commands.exists('get')` method returns true if the command exists and false otherwise.

const commands = require('redis-commands');
console.log(commands.exists('get'));
console.log(commands.exists('nonexistent'));

Get Command Flags

This feature allows you to retrieve the flags associated with a specific Redis command. The `commands.get('set').flags` property returns an array of flags for the 'set' command.

const commands = require('redis-commands');
console.log(commands.get('set').flags);

commands.hasFlag('set', 'readonly') // false
