hapi-redis

A node-redis hapi plugin

Installation

npm install --save @pager/hapi-redis

Quick start

This pretty much works as a regular node-redis client, with the addition of providing an easily accessible instance via the server.app common namespace.

Examples

const Hapi = require('hapi');
const server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({ host: 'localhost' });

const options = {
    // node-redis config options - http://redis.js.org/#api-rediscreateclient
};

// Register the plugin
server.register({
    register: require('@pager/hapi-redis'),
    options: options
}, (err) => {

    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
    } 
    else {
        server.start(() => {

            console.info(`Server started at ${server.info.uri}`);
        });
    }
});

// Declare a route that uses it
server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/stats',
    handler: usersHandler
});

usersHandler (request, reply) => {

    // Access the redis instance
    const client = request.redis;
    client.hgetall('users', (err, obj) => {
    
        if (err) {
            throw err
        }

        return reply({ result: obj });
    });
};

server.start(() => {
    console.log(`Server started at ${server.info.uri}`);
});

Async support

You could use next promisified methods, e.g.:

const res = await getAsync(key);

Original method	Promisified method
set	setAsync
get	getAsync
flushall	flushallAsync
quit	quitAsync
keys	keysAsync
ttl	ttlAsync
