createClient中option參數細節
options object properties :
Property
Default
Description
host
127.0.0.1
IP address of the Redis server
port
6379
Port of the Redis server
path
null
The UNIX socket string of the Redis server
url
null
The URL of the Redis server. Format: [redis[s]:]//[[user][:password@]][host][:port][/db-number][?db=db-number[&password=bar[&option=value]]] (More info avaliable at IANA).
string_numbers
null
Set to true, Node Redis will return Redis number values as Strings instead of javascript Numbers. Useful if you need to handle big numbers (above Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER === 2^53). Hiredis is incapable of this behavior, so setting this option to true will result in the built-in javascript parser being used no matter the value of the parser option.
return_buffers
false
If set to true, then all replies will be sent to callbacks as Buffers instead of Strings.
detect_buffers
false
If set to true, then replies will be sent to callbacks as Buffers. This option lets you switch between Buffers and Strings on a per-command basis, whereas return_buffers applies to every command on a client. Note: This doesn't work properly with the pubsub mode. A subscriber has to either always return Strings or Buffers.
socket_keepalive
true
If set to true, the keep-alive functionality is enabled on the underlying socket.
socket_initial_delay
0
Initial Delay in milliseconds, and this will also behave the interval keep alive message sending to Redis.
no_ready_check
false
When a connection is established to the Redis server, the server might still be loading the database from disk. While loading, the server will not respond to any commands. To work around this, Node Redis has a "ready check" which sends the INFO command to the server. The response from the INFO command indicates whether the server is ready for more commands. When ready, node_redis emits a ready event. Setting no_ready_check to true will inhibit this check.
enable_offline_queue
true
By default, if there is no active connection to the Redis server, commands are added to a queue and are executed once the connection has been established. Setting enable_offline_queueto false will disable this feature and the callback will be executed immediately with an error, or an error will be emitted if no callback is specified.
retry_unfulfilled_commands
false
If set to true, all commands that were unfulfilled while the connection is lost will be retried after the connection has been reestablished. Use this with caution if you use state altering commands (e.g. incr). This is especially useful if you use blocking commands.
password
null
If set, client will run Redis auth command on connect. Alias auth_pass Note Node Redis < 2.5 must use auth_pass
user
null
The ACL user (only valid when password is set)
db
null
If set, client will run Redis select command on connect.
family
IPv4
disable_resubscribing
false
If set to true, a client won't resubscribe after disconnecting.
rename_commands
null
Passing an object with renamed commands to use instead of the original functions. For example, if you renamed the command KEYS to "DO-NOT-USE" then the rename_commands object would be: { KEYS : "DO-NOT-USE" } . See the Redis security topics for more info.
tls
null
An object containing options to pass to tls.connect to set up a TLS connection to Redis (if, for example, it is set up to be accessible via a tunnel).
prefix
null
A string used to prefix all used keys (e.g. namespace:test). Please be aware that the keys command will not be prefixed. The keyscommand has a "pattern" as argument and no key and it would be impossible to determine the existing keys in Redis if this would be prefixed.
retry_strategy
function
A function that receives an options object as parameter including the retry attempt, the total_retry_time indicating how much time passed since the last time connected, the error why the connection was lost and the number of times_connected in total. If you return a number from this function, the retry will happen exactly after that time in milliseconds. If you return a non-number, no further retry will happen and all offline commands are flushed with errors. Return an error to return that specific error to all offline commands. Example below.
connect_timeout
3600000
In milliseconds. This should only be the timeout for connecting to redis, but for now it interferes with retry_strategy and stops it from reconnecting after this timeout.
