# v3 to v4 Migration Guide
Version 4 of Node Redis is a major refactor. While we have tried to maintain backwards compatibility where possible, several interfaces have changed. Read this guide to understand the differences and how to implement version 4 in your application.
## All of the Breaking Changes
See the [Change Log](../CHANGELOG.md).
### Promises
Node Redis now uses native [Promises](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise) by default for all functions.
### `createClient`
The configuration object passed to `createClient` has changed significantly with this release. See the [client configuration guide](./client-configuration.md) for details.
### No Auto Connect
In V4, the client does not automatically connect to the server. Instead you need to run `.connect()` after creating the client or you will receive an error: `ClientClosedError: The client is closed`.
```typescript
import { createClient } from 'redis';
const client = createClient();
await client.connect();
await client.ping();
```
### All the removed events
The following events that existed in V3 were removed in V4:
1. `warning`
2. `subscribe`
3. `psubscribe`
4. `unsubscribe`
5. `message`
6. `message_buffer`
7. `messageBuffer`
8. `pmessage`
9. `pmessage_buffer`
10. `pmessageBuffer`
11. `monitor`
#### No `message`-like event
In V4, you don't need to add a listener to the `message`-like events (items 5 to 10 of the above list), you can get the message directly in `subscribe`-like commands.
The second argument of these commands is a callback, which will be triggered every time there is a message published to the channel.
The third argument to these commands is a boolean to set `bufferMode` (default `false`). If it's set to `true` you will receive a buffer instead of a string.
The `subscribe`-like commands return a promise. If the command is executed successfully the promise will be fulfilled, otherwise the promise will be rejected.
```typescript
import { createClient } from 'redis';
const subscriber = createClient();
await subscriber.connect();
await subscriber.subscribe('channel_name', (message, channelName) => {
console.info(message, channelName);
});
```
## Legacy Mode
Use legacy mode to preserve the backwards compatibility of commands while still getting access to the updated experience:
```typescript
const client = createClient({
legacyMode: true
});
// legacy mode
client.set('key', 'value', 'NX', (err, reply) => {
// ...
});
// version 4 interface is still accessible
await client.v4.set('key', 'value', {
NX: true
});
```
