Redis plugin
Connects to a local (by default) redis instance and stores a redis
connection handle at server.notes.redis.
Config
The redis.ini file has the following sections (defaults shown):
server
; host=127.0.0.1
; port=6379
; db=0
pubsub
; host=127.0.0.1
; port=6379
Publish & Subscribe are DB agnostic and thus have no db setting. If host and port and not defined, they default to the same as server settings.
opts
; see https://www.npmjs.com/package/redis#overloading
Usage
Use redis in your plugin like so:
if (server.notes.redis) {
server.notes.redis.hgetall(...);
// or any other redis command
}
Publish/Subscribe Usage
In your plugin:
exports.results_init = function (next, connection) {
var plugin = this;
plugin.redis_subscribe(connection, function () {
connection.notes.redis.on('pmessage', function (pattern, channel, message) {
plugin.do_something_with_message(message, ...);
});
next();
});
}
// be nice to redis and disconnect
exports.hook_disconnect = function (next, connection) {
this.redis_unsubscribe(connection);
}
