redis-js

library0.1.2jsnpmunverified

An in-memory Redis-compatible mock implementation in pure JavaScript, ideal for testing Redis-dependent code without a real server. Version 0.1.2 (stable, low release cadence) supports core Redis commands (SET, GET, DEL, pub/sub, createClient) with blocking, callback, async, and promise styles. Unlike other mocks, it runs entirely in-memory and can be used in both Node.js and browser environments. No network overhead, no external dependencies.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ var redis = require('redis-js');

✗ import redis from 'redis-js';

Package uses CommonJS only; ESM import not supported.

createClient

✓ var client = redis.createClient();

✗ var client = new redis.Client();

createClient is a function, not a constructor. It returns a client instance.

redismock (browser global)

✓ var redis = window.redismock;

✗ var redis = require('redis-js'); // not available in browser

In the browser, the library is exposed as window.redismock via a script tag.

Demonstrates basic synchronous usage: SET, GET, and DEL commands with an in-memory mock.

var redis = require('redis-js'); var reply = redis.set('key', 'value'); if (reply === 'OK') { var value = redis.get('key'); console.log(value); // 'value' redis.del('key'); }

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe library uses blocking synchronous calls by default, not async I/O. Callbacks are optional and do not change synchronous execution.

fix

Use callbacks or promises only for consistency; actual I/O is never asynchronous.

affects: >=0.0.1

breakingPub/sub uses same synchronous model; message delivery happens immediately on publish.

fix

Do not expect real Redis async behavior; this is a mock for basic testing.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchacreateClient ignores all arguments and returns a copy hooked to the same in-memory store as the base module.

fix

Passing port, host, or options will have no effect.

affects: >=0.0.1

deprecatedThe package has not been updated since 2016 and may not support newer Redis commands (e.g., SCAN, streams).

fix

Consider using ioredis-mock or redis-mock for more complete coverage.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: redis.createClient is not a function

Using 'require('redis-js')' directly as a function instead of calling redis.createClient()

fix

var client = require('redis-js').createClient();

ReferenceError: redismock is not defined

Trying to require the library in a browser environment; it's exposed globally as 'redismock'

fix

Use <script src='redis-mock.min.js'> and then window.redismock

Error: redisClient.get is not a function

Calling get on an undefined client; likely created client incorrectly

fix

var redis = require('redis-js'); var client = redis.createClient(); client.get('key');
