# Node Redis: Examples
This folder contains example scripts showing how to use Node Redis in different scenarios.
| File Name | Description |
|-----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `blocking-list-pop.js` | Block until an element is pushed to a list |
| `command-with-modifiers.js` | Define a script that allows to run a command with several modifiers |
| `connect-as-acl-user.js` | Connect to Redis 6 using an ACL user |
| `lua-multi-incr.js` | Define a custom lua script that allows you to perform INCRBY on multiple keys |
| `search+json.js` | Use [Redis Search](https://redisearch.io/) and [Redis JSON](https://redisjson.io/) |
| `set-scan.js` | An example script that shows how to use the SSCAN iterator functionality |
## Contributing
We'd love to see more examples here. If you have an idea that you'd like to see included here, submit a Pull Request and we'll be sure to review it! Don't forget to check out our [contributing guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Setup
To set up the examples folder so that you can run an example / develop one of your own:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/redis/node-redis.git
$ cd node-redis
$ npm install -ws && npm run build
$ cd examples
$ npm install
```
### Coding Guidelines for Examples
When adding a new example, please follow these guidelines:
* Add your code in a single JavaScript or TypeScript file per example, directly in the `examples` folder
* Do not introduce other dependencies in your example
* Give your `.js` file a meaningful name using `-` separators e.g. `adding-to-a-stream.js` / `adding-to-a-stream.ts`
* Indent your code using 2 spaces
* Use the single line `//` comment style and comment your code
* Add a comment at the top of your `.js` / `.ts` file describing what your example does
* Add a comment at the top of your `.js` / `.ts` file describing any Redis commands that need to be run to set up data for your example (try and keep this minimal)
* Use semicolons
* Use `async` and `await`
* Use single quotes, `'hello'` not `"hello"`
* Place your example code in a single `async` function where possible, named according to the file name e.g. `add-to-stream.js` would contain `const addtoStream = async () => { ... };`, and call this function at the end of the file e.g. `addToStream();`
* Unless your example requires a connection string, assume Redis is on the default localhost port 6379 with no password
* Use meaningful example data, let's not use `foo`, `bar`, `baz` etc!
* Leave an empty line at the end of your `.js` file
* Update this `README.md` file to add your example to the table
Use [connect-as-acl-user.js](./connect-as-acl-user.js) as a guide to develop a well formatted example script.
### Example Template
Here's a starter template for adding a new example, imagine this is stored in `do-something.js`:
```javascript
// This comment should describe what the example does
// and can extend to multiple lines.
// Set up the data in redis-cli using these commands:
// <add your command(s) here, one per line>
import { createClient } from 'redis';
async function doSomething() {
const client = createClient();
await client.connect();
// Add your example code here...
await client.quit();
}
doSomething();
```
