Readme
Note
This Package is a fork of github project redis-stream. The motive behind creating this package was to add the feature to connect cloud redis (currently tested with Azure), which was not availble in the original package.
redis-stream
Create readable/writeable/pipeable api compatible streams from redis commands.
Example
In the example
directory there are various ways to use redis-stream
-- such as creating a stream from the redis monitor
command.
const Redis = require('redis-stream');
const client = new Redis({
port: 6379,
host: 'localhost'
});
require('http')
.createServer(function (request, response) {
var redis = client.stream()
redis.pipe(Redis.es.join('\r\n')).pipe(response)
redis.write('monitor')
})
.listen(3000)
Methods
Local Connection
const Redis = require('redis-stream')
const client = new Redis({
port: 6379,
host: 'localhost',
db: 0
});
Cloud Connection
Azure
const Redis = require('redis-stream')
const client = new Redis({
port: 6380,
host: '<redis-cloud-url>',
auth: '<auth-pass-key>'
});
client.stream([arg1] [, arg2] [, argn])
Return an instance of stream. All calls to write
on this stream will be prepended with the optional arguments passed to client.stream()
Create a streaming instance of rpop:
var rpop = client.stream('rpop')
rpop.pipe(process.stdout)
rpop.write('my-list-key')
Or lpush:
var lpush = client.stream('lpush', 'my-list-key')
lpush.pipe(process.stdout)
lpush.write('my-value')
Which you can then pipe redis keys to, and the resulting elements will be piped to stdout.
Check the examples directory for more. However, any redis command can be issued with the same arguments as the command line interface.
Other methods
Redis.parse.hgetall()
Return a special intermediary stream that can be used to transform an hmget
or hgetall
stream into a json object with a little help from JSONStream.
hgetall = client.stream('hgetall')
hgetall
.pipe(Redis.parse.hgetall())
.pipe(JSONStream.stringifyObject())
.pipe(process.stdout)
hgetall.write('my-hash-key-1')
Redis.parse(array)
It's possible to interact directly with the command parser that transforms a stream into valid redis data stream
var Redis = require('redis-stream')
, redis = new Redis(6379, 'localhost')
, stream = redis.stream()
stream.pipe(Redis.es.join('\r\n')).pipe(process.stdout)
// interact with the redis network connection directly
// using `Redis.parse`, which is used internally
stream.redis.write(Redis.parse([ 'info' ]))
stream.redis.write(Redis.parse([ 'lpush', 'mylist', 'val' ]))
stream.end()
