async-redis-shared

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 the connector and connect

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');
