Connect Redis PubSub

connect-redis-pubsub is a Redis session store based on connect-redis backed by node_redis. Requires redis >= 2.0.0 for the SETEX command.

This module has the ability to subscribe to session changes based on the sid of a session. Anytime a session is modified, it will publish to the session's channel, and any client subscribed to that session, will receive the updated session information.

Installation

  $ npm install connect-redis-pubsub

Options

  • pubsub An instance of the redis-sub module
  • client An existing redis client object you normally get from redis.createClient()
  • subClient An existing redis client object that is going to ONLY be used for subscriptions
  • host Redis server hostname
  • port Redis server portno
  • ttl Redis session TTL in seconds
  • db Database index to use
  • pass Password for Redis authentication
  • prefix Key prefix defaulting to "sess:"
  • ... Remaining options passed to the redis createClient() method.

Usage

var connect = require('connect'), 
  RedisStore = require('connect-redis-pubsub')(connect);

connect()
  .use(connect.session({ store: new RedisStore(options), secret: 'disco cat' }))

Subscribing:

RedisStore.subscribe(sid, callback)

Unsubscribing:

RedisStore.unsubscribe(sid, callback)

Future Plans

  • EventEmitter style subscription handling
  • Allow for one-time subscriptions (immediately unsubscribe once a the callback has been processed)
  • Integrate the subscription model right on the session objects stored within request with proper EventEmitter functionality
  • Write some tests for the pubsub
