library0.9.11jsnpmunverified

A lightweight Node.js application archetype that provides lifecycle boilerplate for Express/Koa apps using Redis. The package wraps Redis and Koa.js integration with automatic configuration from process.env. v0.9.11 is the current release with no active development since 2018. It primarily relies on app-spec for spec parsing and is used by a few hobby projects. No type definitions, ESM-only or CJS pattern, last pubished 2018.

Verified usage

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

default
✓ const app = require('redis-koa-app')
✗ import app from 'redis-koa-app'
Package uses CommonJS require, not ESM default import. No type definitions.
require('redis-koa-app')()
✓ require('redis-koa-app')(packageJson, spec, mainFunction)
✗ require('redis-koa-app').default(packageJson, spec, mainFunction)
The function is exported directly as module.exports, not as a named export.

Shows minimal usage: requires redis-koa-app, passes package.json, config spec, and a main function that starts Koa.

const redisKoaApp = require('redis-koa-app'); const packageJson = require('./package.json'); const spec = { port: { env: 'PORT', default: 3000 }, redisUrl: { env: 'REDIS_URL', default: 'redis://localhost:6379' } }; const main = () => { const Koa = require('koa'); const app = new Koa(); app.use(ctx => { ctx.body = 'Hello'; }); return app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000); }; redisKoaApp(packageJson, spec, main).catch(err => { console.error(err); process.exit(1); });
Debug
Known issues
deprecatedPackage has not been updated since 2018 and is effectively abandoned.
fix
Consider using modern alternatives like koa + ioredis directly or a framework with Redis support.
affects: >=0.0.0
gotchaThe main function is passed as the third argument (not a callback, but a factory). Common mistake: passing () => require('./main') as shown in documentation, but the function must return a promise or value.
fix
Ensure the third argument is a function that returns the actual app object or a promise.
affects: >=0.0.0
gotchaPackage relies on app-spec which is also not actively maintained. Process.env parsing may not cover complex configurations.
fix
Use dotenv or env-var for environment variable parsing.
affects: >=0.0.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
Error: Cannot find module 'redis-koa-app'
Package not installed or not in node_modules.
fix
Run `npm install redis-koa-app` or `yarn add redis-koa-app`.
TypeError: redisKoaApp is not a function
Import or require pattern incorrect.
fix
Use `const redisKoaApp = require('redis-koa-app')` (CommonJS) not ES6 import.
ReferenceError: spec is not defined
Spec object not passed correctly or missing required fields.
fix
Define spec object with 'env' properties for each environment variable.
