Async redis wrapper, puts the connection into the global namespace for simple access to a shared connection
npm install async-redis-shared> ⚠️ DEPRECATED / UNSUPPORTED: This package is no longer maintained.
This package has been replaced with https://www.npmjs.com/package/redis-singleton
A package that wraps redis-async, it adds a shared redis connection to global.ASYNC_REDIS_SHARED, when i have time i will write a singleton class unless i find another 1 that already does this.
Call once as early as possible in your app and await the promise response... then just import it
import connect from 'async-redis-shared/connect'
// Initialize Redis connection
connect(config.redis).catch((e) => {
console.error('Error connecting to redis: ', e);
});
use elsewhere in your app
import client from 'async-redis-shared'
await client.set('key:unittest', String(now));
const fetchedVal = await client.get('key:unittest');
