Validate and parse Redis URI connection schemes

Redis URI Connection Scheme

The URI connection scheme expects the following parameters:

Component	Required?	Description
redis://	Required	A protocol prefix to indentifying this as URI connection format
auth@		AUTH password to connect to the redis instance
host	Required	A network location (e.g. hostname or IP address) of the redis server
:port		The server port assigned to the redis process; defaults to 6379
/database		An available redis database number; defaults to 0

API

parse(uri)

Parse the passed uri into an object containing four properties: auth, host, port, db. Note that if no AUTH password is provided, the auth property is set to null.

var redisuri = require('redisuri');

console.log(redisuri.parse('redis://localhost:6379'));
// => { auth: null, host: 'localhost', port: 6379, db: 0 }

console.log(redisuri.parse('redis://authstring@192.168.1.1:6379/7'));
// => { auth: authstring, host: '192.168.1.1', port: 6379, db: 7 }

validate(uri)

Ensures that the passed uri contains the redis: protocol and specifies a hostname. Throws a TypeError if either condition fails. If successful, returns the uri for convienient wrapping with parse.

var redisuri = require('redisuri');

var uri = 'redis://localhost:6379';
var bad = 'localhost';

console.log(redisuri.validate(uri));
// => 'redis://localhost:6379'

console.log(redisuri.validate(bad));
// => TypeError: A protocol must be specified in the Redis URI connection scheme (e.g. redis:)
