> Valkey storage adapter for Keyv


Valkey storage adapter for Keyv.

Valkey is the open source replacement to Redis which decided to do a dual license approach moving forward. Valkey is a drop-in replacement for Redis and is fully compatible with the Redis protocol.

We are using the iovalkey which is a Node.js client for Valkey based on the ioredis client.

Install

``shell
npm install --save keyv @keyv/valkey
`

Usage

This is using the helper createKeyv function to create a Keyv instance with the Valkey storage adapter:

`js
import {createKeyv} from '@keyv/valkey';

const keyv = createKeyv('redis://localhost:6379');
keyv.on('error', handleConnectionError);
await keyv.set('foo', 'bar');
console.log(await keyv.get('foo')); // 'bar'
`

If you want to specify the KeyvValkey class directly, you can do so:

`js
import Keyv from 'keyv';
import KeyvValkey from '@keyv/valkey';

const keyv = new Keyv(new KeyvValkey('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379', { disable_resubscribing: true }));
`

Or you can manually create a storage adapter instance and pass it to Keyv:

`js
import Keyv from 'keyv';
import KeyvValkey from '@keyv/valkey';

const KeyvValkey = new KeyvValkey('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379');
const keyv = new Keyv({ store: KeyvValkey });
`

Or reuse a previous Redis instance:

`js
import Keyv from 'keyv';
import Redis from 'iovalkey';
import KeyvValkey from '@keyv/valkey';

const redis = new Redis('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379');
const KeyvValkey = new KeyvValkey(redis);
const keyv = new Keyv({ store: KeyvValkey });
`

Or reuse a previous Redis cluster:

`js
import Keyv from 'keyv';
import Redis from 'iovalkey';
import KeyvValkey from '@keyv/valkey';

const redis = new Redis.Cluster('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379');
const KeyvValkey = new KeyvValkey(redis);
const keyv = new Keyv({ store: KeyvValkey });
`


Options

useRedisSets

The useRedisSets option lets you decide whether to use Redis sets for key management. By default, this option is set to true.

When useRedisSets is enabled (true):

- A namespace for the Redis sets is created, and all created keys are added to this. This allows for group management of keys.
- When a key is deleted, it's removed not only from the main storage but also from the Redis set.
- When clearing all keys (using the clear function), all keys in the Redis set are looked up for deletion. The set itself is also deleted.

Note: In high-performance scenarios, enabling useRedisSets might lead to memory leaks. If you're running a high-performance application or service, it is recommended to set useRedisSets to false.

If you decide to set useRedisSets as false, keys will be handled individually and Redis sets won't be utilized.

However, please note that setting useRedisSets to false could lead to performance issues in production when using the clear function, as it will need to iterate over all keys to delete them.

Example

Here's how you can use the useRedisSets option:

`js
import Keyv from 'keyv';

const keyv = new Keyv(new KeyvValkey('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379', { useRedisSets: false }));
