loopback-redis-cache

library1.0.10jsnpmunverified

Redis cache mixin for LoopBack.io (v1.0.10, last released 2017). Caches GET requests and invalidates on create/update/delete. Supports per-model Redis server config with fallback. Requires Node.js v4+. Note: This package is unmaintained, uses deprecated dependencies (node_redis, redis-delete-pattern), and may not work with LoopBack 4. Alternatives: loopback-connector-kv-redis or custom caching.

Rediscache

✓ // No import needed; use via model mixin config "mixins": { "Rediscache": {} }

✗ const Rediscache = require('loopback-redis-cache');

This is a LoopBack mixin; it is not imported directly but configured in model JSON.

Configure Rediscache mixin on a LoopBack model with optional Redis host/password via environment variables.

// In your model JSON (e.g., common/models/game.json) { "name": "Game", "base": "PersistedModel", "mixins": { "Rediscache": { "client": { "host": process.env.REDIS_HOST || '127.0.0.1', "password": process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD || '' } } }, "properties": {} }

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is unmaintained since 2017. Use at your own risk.

fix

Migrate to loopback-connector-kv-redis or implement custom caching.

affects: *

breakingRequires deprecated 'redis' and 'redis-delete-pattern' packages which may have known security vulnerabilities.

fix

Pin redis version to 2.x (may require npm overrides) or switch to different cache solution.

affects: >=1.0.0 <2.0.0

gotchaCache invalidation only works on standard LoopBack create/update/delete operations. Direct Redis operations bypass invalidation.

fix

Always use LoopBack model methods to ensure cache is cleared.

affects: *

gotchaNo support for LoopBack 4. This package is designed for LoopBack 2/3 only.

fix

Use loopback-connector-kv-redis for LoopBack 4.

affects: *

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'redis-delete-pattern'

Missing dependency 'redis-delete-pattern' which is not included in npm install (package bug).

fix

Manually install: npm install redis-delete-pattern --save

TypeError: Rediscache is not a mixin

Mixin not loaded because model-config.json path is incorrect.

fix

Ensure 'mixins' entry points to '../../node_modules/loopback-redis-cache' from your model-config.json.
