redis-node

library0.4.0jsnpmunverified

A complete Redis client for Node.js (version 0.4.0). This package provides a basic asynchronous Redis client with support for most Redis commands. It is one of the earliest Redis clients for Node.js, with a simple API and event-based model. Note that this package is outdated and unmaintained; users are strongly advised to migrate to 'redis' or 'ioredis' for modern, actively maintained Redis clients with better performance, features, and security.

Code

Verified usage

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

redis

✓ import redis from 'redis-node'

✗ const redis = require('redis').createClient()

The package exports a default function that returns a client; no named exports.

createClient

✓ const client = redis.createClient()

✗ const client = new redis.Client()

The client is created via a factory function, not a constructor.

client.on('connect')

✓ client.on('connect', callback)

✗ client.connect(callback)

Connection events are handled via event listeners, not callbacks.

Demonstrates connecting to Redis, setting and getting a key asynchronously, and handling connection events.

import redis from 'redis-node'; const client = redis.createClient(6379, '127.0.0.1'); client.on('connect', () => { console.log('Connected to Redis'); }); client.set('key', 'value', (err, reply) => { if (err) throw err; console.log(reply); // OK client.get('key', (err, value) => { if (err) throw err; console.log(value); // 'value' client.quit(); }); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThis package is unmaintained and outdated. Use the modern 'redis' or 'ioredis' packages instead for security and performance.

fix

Replace with 'redis' (npm install redis) and update imports.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe client does not support promise-based API; all operations are callback-based.

fix

Use callback patterns or wrap with util.promisify.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaNo built-in reconnection or auto-recovery; connections can fail silently.

fix

Manually handle reconnection logic or switch to a client with auto-reconnection.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

Redis server hostname is incorrect or unreachable.

fix

Check the hostname and ensure Redis is running on that host.

Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED

Redis server is not running on the specified port or address.

fix

Start Redis server (e.g., redis-server) and verify port.
