Redis Server - A Simple Node.js Redis Client - javascript Cheatsheets

This example demonstrates a basic Node.js client interacting with a Redis server. It shows how to connect, set a key-value pair, and retrieve the value.

Connecting to the Redis Server

The code first establishes a connection to the Redis server using the redis library. The connection string specifies the URL of the Redis instance.

Setting and Getting Values

The client.set() method sets a key ('foo') to a value ('bar'). The client.get() method (not shown in this example, but implied) would retrieve the value associated with the key.

const redis = require('redis');
const client = redis.createClient({ url: 'redis://redis:6379' });

client.on('error', (err) => console.error('Redis Client Error', err));

client.connect();

client.set('foo', 'bar')
  .then(() => console.log('Value set successfully'))
  .catch(console.error);

client.quit();

Further Exploration

This is a very basic example. The Redis library offers many more commands for managing data in your Redis instance. Explore the Redis command documentation to learn more.
