strapi-connector-redis

library0.0.9jsnpmunverified

A deprecated Redis connector for the Strapi CMS framework that enables Redis client access in Strapi controllers and services. Version 0.0.9 (latest) relies on the node-redis driver and promisifies Redis commands for async/await usage. It is not an official Strapi package and is no longer maintained. Alternatives include using the official Strapi Redis plugin or integrating Redis directly via a custom service. The package has had infrequent updates and is considered unstable for production use.

Verified usage

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

strapi.redis

✓ Accessed via strapi.redis.get('key') or strapi.redis.set('key', 'value') inside controllers/services

✗ import redis from 'strapi-connector-redis'

No direct import needed; the connector adds a 'redis' object to the global strapi instance after configuration. Plugins and controllers access it as strapi.redis.

custom configuration

✓ config/database.js exports connections with connector: 'redis'

✗ Configuring via env variables only

Configuration is defined in Strapi's database config file, not exported or imported from this package.

Shows installation, configuration in Strapi database config, and usage of redis.get() in a controller.

// 1. Install: npm i strapi-connector-redis -S // 2. In config/database.js: module.exports = ({ env }) => ({ defaultConnection: 'default', connections: { default: { connector: 'bookshelf', settings: { client: 'sqlite', filename: env('DATABASE_FILENAME', '.tmp/data.db'), }, options: { useNullAsDefault: true, }, }, redis: { connector: 'redis', settings: { db: '0', host: '127.0.0.1', port: 6379, }, debug: true, }, }, }); // 3. In a controller or service: const fooValue = await strapi.redis.get('foo'); console.log(fooValue);

Known issues

deprecatedThis package is deprecated and no longer maintained. Do not use in new projects.

fix

Use official Strapi Redis plugin or implement custom Redis integration.

affects: >=0.0.1

deprecatedPackage relies on node-redis v2.x which is also deprecated. Newer node-redis (v4+) is incompatible.

fix

Update to a maintained Redis connector or use node-redis v4+ directly.

affects: 0.0.9

gotchaRedis commands are promisified, but error handling must be done manually; unhandled promise rejections can crash the app.

fix

Always use try/catch or .catch() on Redis calls.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaConnector only works when configured as a Strapi database connection; it does not add a standalone Redis client via plugin API.

fix

Ensure 'redis' connection is present in config/database.js.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Error: Cannot find module 'strapi-connector-redis'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run: npm install strapi-connector-redis --save

strapi.redis is undefined

Redis configuration missing or incorrect in config/database.js.

fix

Add a 'redis' connection in config/database.js as shown in quickstart.
