redis-level

library0.0.5jsnpmunverified

An abstract-level database backed by Redis for Node.js. Version 0.0.5, released as an early-stage library under the Level ecosystem. It implements the abstract-level interface, allowing Redis to be used as a LevelDB-compatible store. Key differentiators: leverages Redis for persistence and scalability, supports callbacks and async/await, and follows the Level API conventions. Suitable for projects that need a Level-like API but with Redis as the backend. Maintenance is active but the package is young; breaking changes may occur.

Code

Verified usage

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

RedisLevel

✓ import { RedisLevel } from 'redis-level'

✗ import RedisLevel from 'redis-level'

ESM import must use named export. Default export is not available.

RedisLevel (CJS)

✓ const { RedisLevel } = require('redis-level')

✗ const RedisLevel = require('redis-level')

CommonJS works, but must destructure the named export.

RedisLevel (type import)

✓ import type { RedisLevel } from 'redis-level'

TypeScript users can import the type separately.

Shows basic put and get operations with async/await. Note that the `url` is taken from environment or defaults to localhost.

import { RedisLevel } from 'redis-level' const db = new RedisLevel({ redis: { url: process.env.REDIS_URL ?? 'redis://localhost:6379' } }) await db.put('key', 'value') const val = await db.get('key') console.log(val) // 'value' await db.close()

Debug

Known issues

breakingRedis client options must be nested under a `redis` property. Do not pass Redis options directly.

fix

Wrap your Redis options in `{ redis: { ... } }`.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe `redis` npm package (version 4+) is required; does not work with ioredis or older versions of node-redis.

fix

Install `npm install redis` alongside `redis-level`.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedCallback support is deprecated; prefer async/await or Promises.

fix

Use async/await instead of callbacks.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaValues are serialized using `abstract-level`'s default codec (JSON). Binary data may not work out of the box.

fix

Configure a custom codec if you need to store Buffers or other types.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Redis connection to localhost:6379 failed

Redis server is not running or URL is incorrect.

fix

Ensure Redis is running on localhost:6379 or set REDIS_URL to a valid server.

TypeError: RedisLevel is not a constructor

Default import used instead of named import.

fix

Use `const { RedisLevel } = require('redis-level')` or `import { RedisLevel } from 'redis-level'`.

Module not found: Can't resolve 'redis'

Missing peer dependency `redis`.

fix

Run `npm install redis`.
