Question

How do you use the node.js redis library, what are the core concepts of redis and what does all the redis functions do, e.g. hset, hget etc? Could I have some example.

Solution 1

How do you use the nodejs redis library

Check out node_redis and its examples.

what are the core concepts of redis

You should look at redis data types in order to get a bigger picture of its concepts and data types.

what does all the redis functions do

Try to look at this introduction in order to better understand its commands.

Solution 2

The book Learning Node has Chapter 9 Structured Data with Node and Redis.

Solution 3

Here are the redis documentation.

And here is the nodejs documentation.

What you're using in nodejs should just be a redis-driver. So using redis in nodejs is the same as using redis in any other environment.

It's a shame that the tutorial link is no longer working since it was one of the best tutorials in the wild. I changed it to redis data types.
