default

✓ import RCaches from 'd2c-rcaches'

✗ const RCaches = require('d2c-rcaches')

Default export; ESM and TypeScript supported.

RCaches

✓ import { RCaches } from 'd2c-rcaches'

✗ import RCaches from 'd2c-rcaches'

Also available as named export for consistency.

CacheOptions

✓ import { CacheOptions } from 'd2c-rcaches'

TypeScript type; exported as type.

Creates a Redis-backed cache instance, sets and retrieves a value with TTL.

import RCaches from 'd2c-rcaches'; import Redis from 'ioredis'; const redis = new Redis({ host: process.env.REDIS_HOST ?? 'localhost', port: Number(process.env.REDIS_PORT ?? 6379) }); const cache = new RCaches(redis, { prefix: 'myapp:', ttl: 60 }); async function main() { await cache.set('user:1', { name: 'Alice' }); const user = await cache.get('user:1'); console.log(user); // { name: 'Alice' } } main().catch(console.error);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaCache keys are prefixed automatically but prefix is optional; no default prefix can lead to key collisions.

fix

Always provide a unique prefix when multiple apps share the same Redis instance.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaTTL is in seconds but may be passed as string; ensure numeric values to avoid unintended behavior.

fix

Use numeric TTL values, e.g., ttl: 60.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe package has not been updated in over 2 years; compatibility with newer Redis or Node versions is untested.

fix

Consider forking or migrating to an actively maintained caching library.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Error: Cannot find module 'ioredis'

Missing ioredis peer dependency.

fix
