connect-ioredis v1.4.5

Connect ioRedis

connect-ioredis is a Redis session store backed by ioredis, and is insanely fast :). Requires redis >= 2.0.0 for the SETEX command.

Since this is forked from connect-redis, now we only modified the following version to support ioredis:

• 1.4.5, which is compatible with Sails.js v0.11

Installation

  $ npm install connect-ioredis

Options

• client An existing redis client object you normally get from redis.createClient()
• host Redis server hostname
• port Redis server portno
• ttl Redis session TTL in seconds
• db Database index to use
• pass Password for Redis authentication
• prefix Key prefix defaulting to "sess:"
• sentinels Redis sentinels array
• name Redis sentinels name
• hosts Redis cluster hosts array, with object of host and port
• ... Remaining options passed to the redis new Redis() method.

Usage

Due to npm 1.x changes, we now need to pass connect to the function connect-ioredis exports in order to extend connect.session.Store:

var connect = require('connect')
 	  , RedisStore = require('connect-ioredis')(connect);

connect()
  .use(connect.session({ store: new RedisStore(options), secret: 'keyboard cat' }))

This means express users may do the following, since express.session.Store points to the connect.session.Store function:

var RedisStore = require('connect-ioredis')(express);
