Redisify

• adds object orientated redis calls to an object (or prototype)
• acts as a proxy to node_redis client, but with a namespace key pulled from the object
• Also trailing function calls act as transformations. E.g. obvious usecase - bulk load objects from redis ids

Usage

my_object.redis = redisify([client], [key_fn])

• client: redis client.
• key_fn: property or function that contains the object's redis namespace key (defaults to 'key')
• 'redis' can be anything

Debugging can be turn on via the 'log' property of the proxy:

my_object.redis.log = console.log 

Examples

var redisify = require("redisify")
var client = require("redis").createClient()

var User = {
  key: "Users"
}
User.redis = redisify(client)

User.redis("get", "xx", function(val) {
  // redis "get Users:xx"
  // User == this
})

It can be mixed into a prototype as well:

function User(id) {
  this.key = "User:" + id
}

User.prototype.redis = redisify()
User.prototype.redis.client = client // alternate way of specifying client

var user = new User(42)

user.redis("get", "xx", function(val) {
  // redis "get User:42:xx" 
  // user == this
})

Example 2

Showing transformations: trailing function calls are called as an asynchronous stack of maps.

Eg. if User.load_bulk might instantiate a list of User objects from a list of ids:

User.redis("smembers", "all", User.load_bulk, function(users) {
  // users is now a list of instantiated objects
})

Example 3

Showing mounting to a different part of the object and a different property

var User = {
  namespace: "Users"
}

User.db = redisify(client, "namespace")
User.db.log = console.log // log out redisify proxy calls to node_redis

User.db("get", "mystring", function(val) {
  // redis "get Users:mystring"
  // User == this
})
