Client

Overview

Module

The Redis Client module provides a JavaScript interface for interacting with Redis, a popular in-memory data structure store. This module serves as a facade for the underlying Java Redis client implementation, allowing developers to perform common Redis operations such as key-value manipulation and list management using a simple and intuitive API. The Client class abstracts the complexities of the Java implementation, providing a seamless experience for developers working with Redis in their applications built on the platform.

Key Features:

  • Key-Value Operations: Methods for setting, getting, deleting, and checking the existence of keys, as well as incrementing and decrementing numeric values.
  • List Operations: Methods for managing lists, including pushing and popping elements from both ends of the list and retrieving list elements by index or range.

Use Cases:

  • Caching: The Redis Client can be used to implement caching mechanisms in applications, improving performance by storing frequently accessed data in memory.
  • Session Management: Developers can use this module to manage user sessions in web applications by storing session data in Redis.
  • Real-Time Data Processing: The Redis Client is ideal for applications that require real-time data processing and quick access to data structures like lists and sets.

Example Usage:

ts
import { Client } from "@aerokit/sdk/redis";

const redisClient = new Client();

// Set a key-value pair
redisClient.set("myKey", "Hello, Redis!");

// Get the value of a key
const value = redisClient.get("myKey");
console.log(value); // Output: Hello, Redis!

// Push values to a list
redisClient.rpush("myList", "item1", "item2", "item3");

Classes

valuestringThe value string to append.

Returns

  • Type: number
  • Description: The length of the string after the append operation.

bitcount()

Counts the number of set bits (1s) in the string value of a key.

ts
bitcount(key: string): number;
ParameterTypeDescription
keystringThe key to perform the bitcount on.

Returns

  • Type: number
  • Description: The number of set bits.

decr()

Decrements the number stored at key by one.

incr()

Increments the number stored at key by one.

ts
incr(key: string): number;
ParameterTypeDescription
keystringThe key holding the numeric value.

Returns

  • Type: number
  • Description: The value of key after the increment.

keys()

Finds all keys matching the given pattern.

ts
keys(pattern: string): void;
ParameterTypeDescription
patternstringThe pattern to match keys against (e.g., "user:*").

Returns

  • Type: void
  • Description: An array of matching keys.

set()

Sets the string value of a key.

ts
set(key: string, value: string): string;
ParameterTypeDescription
keystringThe key to set.
valuestringThe string value to assign to the key.

Returns

  • Type: string
  • Description: 'OK' on success.

lindex()

Gets an element from a list by its zero-based index.

ts
lindex(key: string, index: number): string;
ParameterTypeDescription
keystringThe key of the list.
indexnumberThe zero-based index (0 is the first element, -1 is the last).

Returns

  • Type: string
  • Description: The element at the specified index, or null if the index is out of range.

llen()

Gets the length of the list stored at the key.

ts
llen(key: string): number;
ParameterTypeDescription
keystringThe key of the list.

Returns

  • Type: number
  • Description: The length of the list.

lpop()

Removes and returns the first element of the list stored at the key (Left POP).

ts
lpop(key: string): string;
ParameterTypeDescription
keystringThe key of the list.

Returns

  • Type: string
  • Description: The first element of the list, or null when the list is empty.

lpush()

Inserts all specified values at the head of the list stored at the key (Left PUSH).

ts
lpush(key: string, value: any): any;

ts
rpop(key: string): string;
ParameterTypeDescription
keystringThe key of the list.

Returns

  • Type: string
