@tslock/redis-ioredis

TSLock Redis provider using the ioredis client.

A TSLock provider that acquires locks with SET key NX PX <ttl> and releases/extends them with Lua scripts that check the lock value before mutating. This is the ioredis counterpart to @tslock/redis; both share the locking logic in @tslock/redis-core and differ only in the client adapter.

Installation

pnpm add @tslock/core @tslock/redis-ioredis ioredis

Usage

import { createLockConfig, DefaultLockingTaskExecutor } from '@tslock/core';
import { createIoRedisLockProvider } from '@tslock/redis-ioredis';
import { Redis } from 'ioredis';

const redisClient = new Redis('redis://localhost:6379');

const provider = createIoRedisLockProvider(redisClient);
const executor = new DefaultLockingTaskExecutor(provider);

await executor.executeWithLock(
  () => myScheduledTask(),
  createLockConfig({ name: 'my-task', lockAtMostFor: '5m', lockAtLeastFor: '1m' }),
);

Configuration

createIoRedisLockProvider(client, config?) accepts an optional config:

| Option | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | keyPrefix | 'job-lock' | Redis key namespace. | | env | 'default' | Environment segment of the key (enables multi-tenancy). | | safeUpdate | true | When true, unlock/extend use a Lua script that verifies the lock value first. Set false for plain DEL/SET XX. |

The full key is ${keyPrefix}:${env}:${lockName}.

Lock-name safety: Lock names must be non-empty, contain no control characters, and be at most 1024 UTF-8 bytes. Redis ownership values include a hostname and random UUID because safe updates verify the stored value.

Integration tests

Redis integration tests are opt-in and require a running Redis service:

TSLOCK_REDIS_INTEGRATION=1 REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379 pnpm --filter @tslock/redis-ioredis test:integration

Exports

| Export | Description | |---|---| | createIoRedisLockProvider, IoRedisLockProvider | Factory + class. | | IoRedisTemplate | The RedisTemplate adapter for ioredis. |

Requirements

• Node.js >= 22
• Peer: ioredis
