redis-stream

Example

In the example directory there are various streaming examples.

Methods

var Redis = require('redis-stream')
  , client = new Redis(6379, localhost, 0)

new Redis([port] [, host] [, database])

Return an object that streams can be created from with the port, host, and database options -- port defaults to 6379, host to localhsot and database to 0.

client.stream([arg1] [, arg2] [, argn])

Return a node.js api compatible stream that is readable, writeable, and can be piped. All calls to write on this stream will be prepended with the optional arguments passed to client.stream

Create a streaming instance of rpop:

var rpop = client.stream('rpop')
rpop.pipe(process.stdout)
rpop.write('my-list-key')

Which you can then pipe redis keys to, and they resulting elements will be piped to stdout.

Redis.parse.hgetall()

Return a stream that can be piped to to transform an hmget or hgetall stream into valid json, with a little help from JSONStream we can turn this into a real object.

  hgetall = client.stream('hgetall')
  hgetall
    .pipe(Redis.parse.hgetall())
    .pipe(JSONStream.stringifyObject())
    .pipe(process.stdout)
 
  hgetall.write('my-hash-key-1')

Redis.parse(array)

It's possible to interact directly with the command parser that transforms a stream into valid redis data stream

var Redis = require('../')
  , redis = new Redis(6379, 'localhost')
  , stream = redis.stream()
 
stream.pipe(Redis.es.join('\r\n')).pipe(process.stdout)
 
// interact with the redis network connection directly
// using `Redis.parse`, which is used internally
stream.redis.write(Redis.parse([ 'info' ]))
stream.redis.write(Redis.parse([ 'lpush', 'mylist', 'val' ]))
stream.end()

Install
