app-context-redis

Redis initializer for app-context

Usage

This initializer can be auto-installed by using it in your context file.

This initializer will attach the configured connections to APP.redis.

``javascript
module.exports = function() {
this.runlevel('connected')
// attach a connection to APP.redis - use the value at APP.config.redis as the connection string
.use('redis', '$redis')

// attach a connection to APP.redis
.use('redis', 'redis://localhost')

// create 2 connections and attach them as an object to APP.redis
// this will create APP.redis.cache and APP.redis.sessions
.use('redis', {
cache: '$redis.cache',
sessions: '$redis.sessions'
})

// you can also pass options to each connection
.use('redis', {
cache: {url: '$redis.cache', no_ready_check: true},
data: {url: 'redis://localhost/1', connectTimeout: 3000}
})
};
`

Connection Configurations

Each connection can be configured with either a connection string (like redis://localhost/2) or
with an object. The object will be passed through to redis.createClient and can consist of any options
from the redis client. There is a special url` option that this initializer requires.
