gaiden-redis

A module that wraps redis interfaces in connection pooling logic

This library takes in a thrift service and wraps the methods with connection pooling logic (based on node-pool)

Installation

npm install gaiden-redis

Usage - Initialization

var gaiden_redis = require('gaiden-redis');
var redis_options = {};
var pool_options = {};

redis = gaiden_redis(redis_options, pool_options)

Redis options

Check redis createClient

• host - default: '127.0.0.1'
• port - default: 6379
• options - default: {}

Pool options

• max - default: 1
• min - default: 0
• idleTimeoutMillis - default: 39 * 1000
• log - default: false

Usage - Wrapped Command

gaiden-redis has wrapped redis command, check this list

client = redis.client;

client.set('hello', 'world');

client.get('hello', function(err, result){
  console.log(result);
})

Usage - Vanilla Client

client = redis.createClient();

client.psubscribe('channel');

client.on("pmessage", function(pattern, channel, message){
  // ......
})

Usage - Generic Pool

Maybe it's not necessary, still I export it anyway.

pool = redis.pool

pool.acquire(function(err, client){
  if (err) {
    // handle error
  } else {
    client.set("hello", "world");
    client.get("hello", function(err, result){
      console.log(result);
      pool.release(client);
    })
  }
})
