Reshuffle Redis Connector

This package contains a Resshufle connector to Redis databases.

The following example sets and gets a value from Redis:

const { Reshuffle } = require('reshuffle')
const { RedisConnector } = require('reshuffle-redis-connector')

;(async () => {
  const app = new Reshuffle()

  const redis = new RedisConnector(app, {
    endpoint: process.env.REDIS_ENDPOINT,
    password: process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD,
  })

  await redis.set('key', 'value')
  console.log(await redis.get('key')) // 'value'

  await redis.close()

})().catch(console.error)

Configuration options

const app = new Reshuffle()
const redis = new RedisConnector(app, {
  endpoint: process.env.REDIS_ENDPOINT, // <hostname>:<port>
  password: process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD,
})

Connector actions

Close action

Definition:

() => void

Usage:

await redis.close()

Close all connections to the database. If an application terminates without calling close, it might hang for a few seconds until active connections time out.

Sequence action

Definition:

(
  seq: (query) => any,
) => any

Usage:

const res = await res.sequence(async (conn) => {
  const val = conn.get('key')
  conn.set('key', val + 1)
})

Use sequence to perform multiple queries on the same database connection. This assures sequential access, but not atomicity in case other connections are open to the database.

Transaction action

Definition:

(
  seq: (query) => any,
) => any

Usage:

await redis.transaction(async (multi) => {
  const val = multi.get('key')
  multi.set('key', val + 1)
})

Use transaction to run multiple queries as an atomic sequence using Redis transaction and the MULTI command. All operations either succed or fail together.

SDK actions

The sdk() action provides raw access to the async version of npm redis. The following actions are provided as covenience wrappers for it's corresponding async methods. For instance, calling redis.sdk().append() is equivalent to redis.append(). You can access the methods not listed below using the redis.sdk(). notation.

async function append(key: string, value: any)
async function decr(key: string)
async function decrby(key: string, decrement: number)
async function del(key: string)
async function exists(key: string)
async function get(key: string)
async function getset(key: string, value: string)
async function hdel(key: string, field: string)
async function hexists(key: string, field: string)
async function hget(key: string, field: string)
async function hgetall(key: string)
async function hincrby(key: string, field: string, increment: number)
async function hincrbyfloat(key: string, field: string, increment: number)
async function hkeys(key: string)
async function hlen(key: string)
async function hmget(key: string, fields: string[])
async function hmset(key: string, dict: Record<string, any>)
async function hset(key: string, field: string, value: any)
async function hsetnx(key: string, field: string, value: any)
async function hstrlen(key: string, field: string)
async function hvals(key: string)
async function incr(key: string)
async function incrby(key: string, increment: number)
async function incrbyfloat(key: string, increment: number)
async function mget(keys: string[])
async function mset(dict: Record<string, any>)
async function set(key: string, value: any)
async function setnx(key: string, value: any)
async function keys(pattern: string): Promise<string[]>

Close action

Definition:

() => void

Usage:

await pg.close()

Close all connections to the database. If an application terminates without calling close, it might hang for a few seconds until active connections time out.

Query action

Definition:

(
  sql: string,
  params?: any[],
) => {
  fields: { name: string }[],
  rows: any[],
  rowCount: number,
}

Usage:

await pg.query("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('John', 'Coltrane', 42)")

const family = await pg.query(
  "SELECT firstName, lastName, age FROM users WHERE lastName='Coltrane'"
)
// {
//   rowCount: 2,
//   fields: [{ name: 'firstName' }, { name: 'lastName' }, { name: 'age' }],
//   rows: [
//     { firstName: 'Alice', lastName: 'Coltrane', age: 31 },
//     { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Coltrane', age: 42 },
//   ],
// }

const avgResponse = await pg.query(
  "SELECT average(age) AS avg FROM users WHERE lastName='Coltrane'"
)
const averageAge = avgResponse.rows[0].avg
// 36.5

The query action can be used to run any SQL command on the connected database (not just SELECT). The query is defined in the sql string. The optional params can be used to generate parameterized queries, as shown in the following example:

const age = await pg.query(
  "SELECT age FROM users WHERE firstName=$1 and lastName=$2",
  ['John', 'Smith']
)

This action returns an object with the results of the query, where fields is an array of all field names, as returned by the query. Field names in a SELECT query are column names, or are specified with an AS clause. Every element of rows is uses the names in fields as its object keys.

Note that every call to query may use a different database connection. You can use the sequence or transaction actions if such a guarantee is required.

Sequence action

Definition:

(
  seq: (query) => any,
) => any

Usage:

const res = await pg.sequence(async (query) => {
  await query("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('Miles', 'Davis', 43)")
  return query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users")
})
const userCount = res.rows[0].count
// 3

Use sequence to perform multiple queries on the same database connection. This action receives a seq function that may issue queries to the database, all of which are guaranteed to run through the same connection. seq gets one argument, which is a query function that can be used the same way as the query action. seq may, of course, use any JavaScript code to implement its logic, log to the console etc.

Note that while sequence uses the same connection to run all queries, it does not offer the transactional guarantees offered by transaction. You can use it for weak isolation models, or construct transactions directly without using transaction.

Transaction action

Definition:

(
  seq: (query) => any,
) => any

Usage:

await pg.transaction(async (query) => {
  const res = await query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users")
  const userCount = res.rows[0].count
  if (100 <= userCount) {
    throw new Error('Too many users:', userCount)
  }
  return query("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('Charlie', 'Parker', 49)")
})

Use transaction to run multiple queries as an atomic SQL transaction. The interface is identical to the sequence action, but all the queries issued seq either success or fail together. If any of the queries fail, all queries are rolled back and an error is thrown.

Consider, for example, the following code for updating a bank account balance:

const accountId = 289
const change = +1000
pg.transaction(async (query) => {
  await query(`
    UPDATE accounts
      SET balance = balance + $1
      WHERE account_id = $2
    `,
    [change, accountId],
  )
  await query(`
    INSERT INTO accounts_log(account_id, change, time)
      VALUES ($1, $2, current_timestamp)
    `,
    [change, accountId],
  )
})

In the example above, accounts holds current balances of accounts, while accounts_log holds a history of all changes made. Using transaction ensures that both tables are always updated together.
