library1.1.4jsnpmunverified

think-redis is a Redis wrapper for ThinkJS framework (current version 1.1.4) built on top of ioredis. It provides a simplified promise-based API for common Redis operations like set, get, delete, increase, and decrease. Configuration options mirror ioredis. No frequent releases; it is a thin wrapper providing a ThinkJS-friendly interface with support for expired keys in milliseconds or seconds and event-driven connection handling. Differentiates from raw ioredis by offering convenience methods (e.g., `delete`, `increase`, `decrease`) and a constructor that accepts a config object.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Redis

✓ import Redis from 'think-redis'

✗ const Redis = require('think-redis').default

Default export is the Redis constructor. Use ESM import or CJS with destructuring; the module does not have a named export 'Redis'.

new Redis(config)

✓ const redis = new Redis({ host: 'localhost', port: 6379 })

✗ new redis({})

Configuration object passed to constructor. Options are same as ioredis: https://github.com/luin/ioredis/blob/master/lib/redis.js

redis.set(key, value, ttl)

✓ redis.set('foo', 'bar', 5000)

✗ redis.set('foo', 'bar', 'EX', 5)

For TTL in seconds, use the ioredis pattern: set(key, value, 'EX', seconds). For milliseconds, use 'PX'.

redis.get(key)

✓ const val = await redis.get('foo')

✗ const val = redis.get('foo')

All methods return promises; must be awaited.

Demonstrates constructing a Redis client, setting/getting a key, incrementing a counter, and listening for the connect event.

import Redis from 'think-redis'; const redis = new Redis({ host: process.env.REDIS_HOST ?? '127.0.0.1', port: parseInt(process.env.REDIS_PORT ?? '6379'), password: process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD ?? '' }); (async () => { await redis.set('key', 'value'); const val = await redis.get('key'); console.log(val); // 'value' await redis.increase('counter'); const count = await redis.get('counter'); console.log(count); // '1' redis.on('connect', () => console.log('connected')); process.exit(0); })();

Debug

Known issues

gotchaset() with TTL: think-redis recommends milliseconds but the API expects ioredis syntax for seconds ('EX') or milliseconds ('PX').

fix

Use redis.set(key, value, ttl) for milliseconds, or redis.set(key, value, 'EX', seconds) for seconds.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaAll methods return promises; forgetting await will return a promise object.

fix

Use await or .then() on all redis calls.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedthink-redis has not been updated since 2017 and may not support newer ioredis features or Redis 6+.

fix

Consider using ioredis directly or a more actively maintained wrapper.

affects: <=1.1.4

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: redis_1.default is not a constructor

Using incorrect import syntax in CommonJS.

fix

Use `const Redis = require('think-redis').default;` or switch to ESM `import Redis from 'think-redis'`.

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379

Redis server not running or host/port incorrect.

fix

Start Redis server or set correct host/port in config (e.g., REDIS_HOST env var).

TypeError: redis.get is not a function

Import is not the Redis instance; likely imported the class without instantiation.

fix

Create an instance: `const redis = new Redis(config);` then call redis.get().
