Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

then-redis Travis npm package

then-redis is a fast, promise-based Redis client for node.js. It's build on top of node_redis, so it's safe and stable.

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm install --save redis redis-commands then-redis

Node version >=4 is required.

Then, use as you would anything else:

// using ES6 modules
import { createClient } from 'then-redis'

// using CommonJS modules
var createClient = require('then-redis').createClient

Usage

To create a client:

import { createClient } from 'then-redis'

// Use the default config
const db = createClient()

// Or, specify custom config with a URL
const db = createClient('tcp://localhost:6379')

// Or, use an object config
const db = createClient({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 6379,
  password: 'password'
})

Once you have a client, you're ready to issue some commands. All Redis commands are present on the Client prototype and may be called with variable length argument lists*. Every command returns a promise for its result. Pipelining happens automatically in most normal usage.

// Simple set, incrby, and get
db.set('my-key', 1)
db.incrby('my-key', 5)
db.get('my-key').then(function (value) {
  assert.strictEqual(value, 6)
})

// Multi-key set/get
db.mset({ a: 'one', b: 'two' })
db.mget('a', 'b').then(function (values) {
  assert.deepEqual(values, [ 'one', 'two' ])
})

// Sets
db.sadd('my-set', 1, 2, 3)
db.sismember('my-set', 2).then(function (value) {
  assert.strictEqual(value, 1)
})

// Hashes
var originalHash = { a: 'one', b: 'two' }
db.hmset('my-hash', originalHash)
db.hgetall('my-hash').then(function (hash) {
  assert.deepEqual(hash, originalHash)
})

// Transactions
db.multi()
db.incr('first-key')
db.incr('second-key')
db.exec().then(function (reply) {
  assert.deepEqual(reply, [ 1, 1 ])
})

// Pubsub
var subscriber = redis.createClient()
subscriber.on('message', function (channel, message) {
  console.log('Received message: ' + message)
})
subscriber.subscribe('my-channel').then(function () {
  db.publish('my-channel', 'a message')
})

If you don't like the variable-length argument lists, or you already have an array of arguments that you need to pass to a command, you can always call client.send() directly. It takes two arguments: 1) the name of the Redis command and 2) an array of command arguments.

db.send('get', [ 'my-key' ])
db.send('incrby', [ 'my-key', 5 ])
db.send('mset', [ 'a', 'one', 'b', 'two' ])

* INFO, MGET, MSET, MSETNX, HMSET, HGETALL, LPUSH, and RPUSH optionally accept/return JavaScript objects for convenience in dealing with Redis' multi-key and hash APIs

Compatibility

For best results, it is recommended that you use Redis 2.6 or above.
