ewd-qoper8-redis

This module may be used to simplifiy the integration of the ewd-redis-globals module with ewd-qoper8 worker process modules. It additionally loads the ewd-document-store module to provide a very powerful and natural JavaScript interface to the underlying Global Storage database provided by ewd-redis-globals.

Installing

   npm install ewd-qoper8-redis
   

Using ewd-qoper8-redis

This module should be used with the start event handler of your ewd-qoper8 worker module, eg:

this.on('start', function(isFirst) {
  var connectRedisTo = require('ewd-qoper8-redis');
  connectRedisTo(this);
});

This will open a connection to a local Redis database listening on the default port 6379

ewd-qoper8-redis will load and initialise the ewd-document-store module, creating a DocumentStore object within your worker.

ewd-qoper8-redis takes responsibility for handling the 'stop' event, but provides you with 3 new events that you may handle:

• dbOpened: fires after the connection to Redis is opened within a worker process
• dbClosed: fires after the connection to Redis is closed within a worker process. The worker exits immediately after this event
• DocumentStoreStarted: fires after the DocumentStore object has been instantiated. This is a good place to handle DocumentStore events, for example to maintain Document indices

The dbOpened event provides you with a single status object argument, allowing you to determine the success (or not) of opening the connection to Redis, so you could add the following handler in your worker module, for example:

this.on('dbOpened', function(status) {
  console.log('Redis was opened by worker ' + process.pid + ': status = ' + JSON.stringify(status));
});

The dbClosed and DocumentStoreStarted events provide no arguments.

Note: if you use ewd-xpress, it looks after loading and configuring ewd-qoper8-redis within your worker processes.
