library0.13.2jsnpmunverified

Redis cache driver for the Alaska framework (version 0.13.2). This package provides a Redis-backed cache store integrating with Alaska's caching system. It wraps the node_redis client to offer configurable TTL, connection URI, and standard cache operations. As part of the Alaska ecosystem, it is designed for Node.js applications using that framework. Release cadence is low; the package is stable but not actively maintained. Key differentiator is its tight coupling with Alaska's cache interface.

Setup and basic usage of alaska-cache-redis as the cache driver in an Alaska application.

import { Alaska } from 'alaska'; import alaskaCacheRedis from 'alaska-cache-redis'; const alaska = new Alaska({ cache: { type: 'alaska-cache-redis', url: process.env.REDIS_URL ?? 'redis://localhost:6379/0', maxAge: 3600 * 1000 } }); async function example() { const cache = alaska.cache; await cache.set('key', 'value', 1000); const val = await cache.get('key'); console.log(val); // 'value' await cache.del('key'); } example();

Debug

Known issues

gotchamaxAge default is 0 (forever) if not configured. Keys may never expire.

fix

Always set maxAge in configuration to prevent unbounded cache growth.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaRequires redis server running. No fallback if Redis is unavailable.

fix

Ensure Redis is running and accessible. Consider adding error handling or a fallback cache.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedThe underlying node_redis (redis) package is considered deprecated in favor of ioredis.

fix

No direct fix in this package; consider switching to a different cache driver that uses ioredis.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingBreaking changes may occur when upgrading Alaska framework major versions.

fix

Upgrade to latest alaska-cache-redis compatible with your Alaska version.

affects: <0.13.0
