ewd-redis-globals

library0.5.0jsnpmunverified

Redis emulation of Global Storage database, version 0.5.0 (December 2016). Provides synchronous APIs modeled on the cache.node interface for Caché database, allowing Node.js applications to use Redis as a Global Storage database. Designed for use with ewd-qoper8 worker processes where synchronous access is safe. Requires tcp-netx TCP connector with native C++ dependencies. Not suitable for conventional async Node.js apps. Low activity, last release 2016.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

ewd-redis-globals

✓ var ewdRedisGlobals = require('ewd-redis-globals');

✗ import ewdRedisGlobals from 'ewd-redis-globals';

CommonJS only; no ESM support. The package returns a constructor.

module.exports

✓ var redisGlobals = require('ewd-redis-globals'); var db = new redisGlobals();

✗ var db = ewdRedisGlobals.create();

The module exports a constructor function; instantiate with new.

open/close

✓ db.open(); db.close();

✗ ewdRedisGlobals.open();

Methods are instance methods, not static.

Shows basic instantiation, opening connection, setting and getting a global node, and closing the database.

var tcpNetx = require('tcp-netx'); var RedisGlobals = require('ewd-redis-globals'); var db = new RedisGlobals(); db.open(); try { db.set('^myGlobal', 'subNode', 'value'); var val = db.get('^myGlobal', 'subNode'); console.log('Value:', val); } finally { db.close(); }

Debug

Known issues

gotchaSynchronous APIs block the event loop; only use in worker processes (e.g., ewd-qoper8) to avoid blocking main Node.js thread.

fix

Use within ewd-qoper8 worker processes or dedicated synchronous context.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaRequires tcp-netx native module; requires C++ compiler to build. Installation may fail on systems without build tools.

fix

Install build-essential (Linux) or Xcode (macOS) before npm install tcp-netx.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedRedis must be running on localhost:6379 by default; no built-in TLS or authentication support.

fix

Configure Redis with requirepass and use external tools if needed; the module does not support passwords.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaRarely updated; last release in 2016. May not work with modern Node.js versions (e.g., >=12).

fix

Test on Node 6.x as recommended; for newer versions, consider using async alternatives.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'tcp-netx'

tcp-netx not installed or failed to build.

fix

npm install tcp-netx (ensure C++ compiler is available).

Error: Redis connection refused

Redis server not running or not on default port 6379.

fix

Start Redis server or set custom port via options (not documented but possible).

TypeError: db.open is not a function

Missing instantiation with new.

fix

Use: var db = new RedisGlobals(); db.open();
