Redis

Store data in a Redis.

Usage

Learn more about Redis.
Unstorage uses ioredis internally to connect to Redis.

Usage with single Redis instance:

import { createStorage } from "unstorage";
import redisDriver from "unstorage/drivers/redis";

const storage = createStorage({
  driver: redisDriver({
    base: "unstorage",
    host: 'HOSTNAME',
    tls: true as any,
    port: 6380,
    password: 'REDIS_PASSWORD'
  }),
});

Usage with Redis cluster (e.g. AWS ElastiCache or Azure Redis Cache):

⚠️ If you connect to a cluster, you have to use hastags as prefix to avoid the redis error CROSSSLOT Keys in request don't hash to the same slot. This means, the prefix has to be surrounded by curly braces, which forces the keys into the same hash slot.

const storage = createStorage({
  driver: redisDriver({
    base: "{unstorage}",
    cluster: [
      {
        port: 6380,
        host: "HOSTNAME",
      },
    ],
    clusterOptions: {
      redisOptions: {
        tls: { servername: "HOSTNAME" },
        password: "REDIS_PASSWORD",
      },
    },
  }),
});

Options:

  • base: Optional prefix to use for all keys. Can be used for namespacing. Has to be used as hastag prefix for redis cluster mode.
  • url: Url to use for connecting to redis. Takes precedence over host option. Has the format redis://<REDIS_USER>:<REDIS_PASSWORD>@<REDIS_HOST>:<REDIS_PORT>
  • cluster: List of redis nodes to use for cluster mode. Takes precedence over url and host options.
  • clusterOptions: Options to use for cluster mode.
  • ttl: Default TTL for all items in seconds.

See ioredis for all available options.

lazyConnect option is enabled by default so that connection happens on first redis operation.

Transaction options:

  • ttl: Supported for setItem(key, value, { ttl: number /* seconds */ })
