Redis wrapper

Redis wrapper using bluebird promises. It is extendable by modules.

Requirements

Redis server should be running and a client should be already created.

Usage

npm i @sentisis/redis-wrapper

const redis = require('redis');
const Promise = require('bluebird');

const redisWrapper = require('@sentisis/redis-wrapper');
// enable promises for redis https://github.com/NodeRedis/node_redis#promises
Promise.promisifyAll(redis.RedisClient.prototype);
Promise.promisifyAll(redis.Multi.prototype);

const client = redis.createClient();
const key = 'a';
const value = 'b';
client.set(key, value);

redisWrapper.getter(client, key)
.then((res) => {
  // res = { value: 'b'}
});

Current Modules

All Module operations are atomic, using transactions when needed.

[Keys] COUNTER

Increments a given key, for a INCR_BY parameter (or 1 if not defined)

Params:

• client: created redis client.
• data: {'key': <key>, 'incr_by': <value>}, 'ttl': <ttl>}

Where:

• key: must be defined
• ttl: if not supplied, the key is persisted forever
• incr_by [optional]: If it is not defined, it defaults to 1 (so it sums 1 to the current value, or puts 1 if the key does not exist)

Sample response:

{'new_value': <new_value>}

Where:

• new_value: is the actual value AFTER being updated

[Keys] GETTER

Gets the value of a given key.

Params:

• client: created redis client.
• key

Where:

• key: must be defined

Response:

{'value':<value>}

Where:

• value is an empty string ('' if the key does not exist) or the value

[Keys] REMEMBER

Remembers a given key, for a specified ttl and value into redis

Params:

• client: created redis client.
• data: {'key': <key>, 'ttl': <ttl>, 'value': <value>}

Where:

• ttl [optional]: Time to leave (expiration from now in seconds). If the value is not given, 0 or -1, it does persist forever.
• value [optional]: Value for the key. If not given, it is set to true.

Response

{'new': <true|false>}

That indicates if the just inserted key is new to the system or not.

[Keys] REMOVE

Deletes a given key.

Params:

• client: created redis client.
• key

Where:

• key: must be defined

Response:

{'deleted':<true|false>}

Where:

• deleted is true if the key has been deleted, false otherwise (the key did not exist).

HEALTHCHECKER

Checks if the system is running correctly, or not.

Params:

• client: created redis client.

Response:

{'status': 'ok'}

FLUSHER

Flush the DB.

Params:

• client: created redis client.

Where:

• client: must be a redis client.

Response:

{'flushed': <true|false>}
