Redis storage adapter for Keyv

Redis storage adapter for Keyv.

TTL functionality is handled directly by Redis so no timestamps are stored and expired keys are cleaned up internally.

Install

npm install --save keyv @keyv/redis

Usage

const Keyv = require('keyv');

const keyv = new Keyv('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379');
keyv.on('error', handleConnectionError);

Any valid Redis options will be passed directly through.

e.g:

const keyv = new Keyv('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379', { disable_resubscribing: true });

Or you can manually create a storage adapter instance and pass it to Keyv:

const KeyvRedis = require('@keyv/redis');
const Keyv = require('keyv');

const keyvRedis = new KeyvRedis('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379');
const keyv = new Keyv({ store: keyvRedis });

Or reuse a previous Redis instance:

const KeyvRedis = require('@keyv/redis');
const Redis = require('ioredis');
const Keyv = require('keyv');

const redis = new Redis('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379');
const keyvRedis = new KeyvRedis(redis);
const keyv = new Keyv({ store: keyvRedis });

Or reuse a previous Redis cluster:

const KeyvRedis = require('@keyv/redis');
const Redis = require('ioredis');
const Keyv = require('keyv');

const redis = new Redis.Cluster('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379');
const keyvRedis = new KeyvRedis(redis);
const keyv = new Keyv({ store: keyvRedis });

Options

useRedisSets

The useRedisSets option lets you decide whether to use Redis sets for key management. By default, this option is set to true.

When useRedisSets is enabled (true):

• A namespace for the Redis sets is created, and all created keys are added to this. This allows for group management of keys.
• When a key is deleted, it's removed not only from the main storage but also from the Redis set.
• When clearing all keys (using the clear function), all keys in the Redis set are looked up for deletion. The set itself is also deleted.

Note: In high-performance scenarios, enabling useRedisSets might lead to memory leaks. If you're running a high-performance application or service, it is recommended to set useRedisSets to false.

If you decide to set useRedisSets as false, keys will be handled individually and Redis sets won't be utilized.

However, please note that setting useRedisSets to false could lead to performance issues in production when using the clear function, as it will need to iterate over all keys to delete them.

Example

Here's how you can use the useRedisSets option:

const Keyv = require('keyv');

const keyv = new Keyv('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379', { useRedisSets: false });
