Purpose

Vercel KV is a whitelabeled implementation of Upstash Redis and uses the same API.

This package provides feature parity with the DX of Vercel KV for Upstash Redis.

Usage

import kv from "upstash-kv";

// string
await kv.set("key", "value");
let data = await kv.get("key");
console.log(data); // 'value'

await kv.set("key2", "value2", { ex: 1 });

// sorted set
await kv.zadd(
    "scores",
    { score: 1, member: "team1" },
    { score: 2, member: "team2" }
);
data = await kv.zrange("scores", 0, 0);
console.log(data); // [ 'team1' ]

// list
await kv.lpush("elements", "magnesium");
data = await kv.lrange("elements", 0, 100);
console.log(data); // [ 'magnesium' ]

// hash
await kv.hset("people", { name: "joe" });
data = await kv.hget("people", "name");
console.log(data); // 'joe'

// sets
await kv.sadd("animals", "cat");
data = await kv.spop("animals", 1);
console.log(data); // [ 'cat' ]

// scan for keys
for await (const key of kv.scanIterator()) {
    console.log(key);
}

Environment Variables

Get the UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN from your Upstash console and set them in your .env file. These are read by default.

Use the following function in case you need to define custom values

import { createClient } from "upstash-kv";

const kv = createClient({
    url: "https://<endpoint_name>.upstash.io",
    token: "<token>",
});

await kv.set("key", "value");

Automatic Deserialization

The default kv client automatically deserializes values returned from the database via JSON.parse. If this behaviour is undesired, create a custom KV client via the createClient method with automaticDeserialization: false. All data will be returned as strings.

import { kv, createClient } from "upstash-kv";

const customKvClient = createClient({
    url: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL,
    token: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN,
    automaticDeserialization: false,
});

await customKvClient.set("object", { hello: "world" });

console.log(await kv.get("object")); // { hello: 'world' }
console.log(await customKvClient.get("object")); // '{"hello":"world"}'

Docs

See Vercel's documentation for details.

A note for Vite users

upstash-kv reads database credentials from the environment variables on process.env. In general, process.env is automatically populated from your .env file during development, which is created when you run vc env pull. However, Vite does not expose the .env variables on process.env.

You can fix this in one of following two ways:

  1. You can populate process.env yourself using something like dotenv-expand:
pnpm install --save-dev dotenv dotenv-expand
// vite.config.js
import dotenvExpand from "dotenv-expand";
import { loadEnv, defineConfig } from "vite";

export default defineConfig(({ mode }) => {
  // This check is important!
  if (mode === "development") {
    const env = loadEnv(mode, process.cwd(), "");
    dotenvExpand.expand({ parsed: env });
  }

  return {
    ...
  };
});
  1. You can provide the credentials explicitly, instead of relying on a zero-config setup. For example, this is how you could create a client in SvelteKit, which makes private environment variables available via $env/static/private:
import { createClient } from "upstash-kv";
+ import { UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL, UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN } from "$env/static/private";

const kv = createClient({
-  url: "https://<endpoint_name>.upstash.io",
-  token: "<token>",
+  url: UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL,
+  token: UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN,
});

await kv.set("key", "value");

FAQ

Does the upstash-kv package support Redis Streams?

No, the upstash-kv package does not support Redis Streams. To use Redis Streams with Upstash Redis, you must connect directly to the database server via packacges like io-redis or node-redis.

import { createClient } from "redis";

const client = createClient({
    url: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL,
    token: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN,
});

await client.connect();
await client.xRead({ key: "mystream", id: "0" }, { COUNT: 2 });
