redis-url
Connect to redis using a fully-qualified URL.
Usage
// Defaults to process.env.REDIS_URL or redis://localhost:6379var redis = ; // Or you can specify a URLvar redis = ;
The module also exposes a parse
function you can use to extract parts of a
redis URL. It behaves similarly to node's url.parse,
but adds two extra properties: password
and database
.
This feature comes in handy when using redis-backed tools that don't accept a fully-qualified URL, such as Hapi's catbox-redis.
