redis-jsonify

library1.2.0jsnpmunverified

Automatically serializes JavaScript objects to JSON strings when using node_redis, and deserializes responses back to objects. Version 1.2.0 is stable, with no recent releases. It wraps the Redis client's send_command method to transparently convert non-Buffer values. Key differentiator: removes need for manual JSON.parse/stringify in Redis workflows. Compatible with most node_redis versions from 0.6.7 to 2.8.0 except 2.4.2 and 2.3.1.

Code

Verified usage

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

jsonify

✓ import jsonify from 'redis-jsonify'

✗ const jsonify = require('redis-jsonify')

Default import; ESM only, no CommonJS support in latest versions.

jsonify.blacklist

✓ jsonify.blacklist.push('command');

✗ import { blacklist } from 'redis-jsonify'

Blacklist is a property of the default export, not a named export.

Demonstrates transparent JSON serialization/deserialization for Redis set/get operations.

import redis from 'redis'; import jsonify from 'redis-jsonify'; const client = jsonify(redis.createClient()); client.set('obj', { foo: 'bar' }, (err, result) => { if (err) throw err; client.get('obj', (err, result) => { if (err) throw err; console.log(result); // { foo: 'bar' } client.quit(); }); });

Debug

Known issues

breakingIncompatible with node_redis v2.4.2 and v2.3.1 due to internal API changes.

fix

Use node_redis v2.8.0 or v0.6.7-2.3.0, or avoid those versions.

affects: 1.2.0

gotchaThe 'list' command is blacklisted by default because its return value is an array of strings, not JSON. This can cause premature parsing errors if not accounted for.

fix

Ensure commands like LRANGE, LPOP etc. are handled manually or add to blacklist if needed.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaModule exports a function, not a class. Using new jsonify() will throw an error.

fix

Call jsonify(client) without new.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: jsonify is not a function

Using default import but the module does not support ESM, or using require incorrectly.

fix

Ensure you are using CommonJS: const jsonify = require('redis-jsonify'); or configure bundler for CJS.

Error: redis_parser: 1: Error: received non-zero integer type

Attempting to JSON.parse the result of a command like LIST which returns a raw string.

fix

Add the command to the blacklist: jsonify.blacklist.push('list');
