@node-ts-cache/valkey-storage

Valkey storage adapter for node-ts-cache.

Valkey is an open-source, Redis-compatible in-memory data store that emerged as a community-driven fork after Redis changed its license.

Installation

npm install @node-ts-cache/core @node-ts-cache/valkey-storage

Usage

import { Cache, ExpirationStrategy } from '@node-ts-cache/core';
import { ValkeyStorage } from '@node-ts-cache/valkey-storage';
import Valkey from 'iovalkey';

const valkeyClient = new Valkey({
	host: 'localhost',
	port: 6379
});

const valkeyCache = new ExpirationStrategy(new ValkeyStorage(() => valkeyClient, { maxAge: 3600 }));

class MyService {
	@Cache(valkeyCache, { ttl: 60 })
	async getUsers(): Promise<User[]> {
		// expensive operation
	}
}

Configuration Options

new ValkeyStorage(
	valkeyFactory: () => Valkey,
	options?: {
		maxAge: number;  // TTL in seconds (default: 86400 = 1 day)
	}
)

Constructor Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
valkeyFactory	() => Valkey	Factory function returning a Valkey client
options	object	Configuration options
options.maxAge	number	Default TTL in seconds (default: 86400 = 24 hours)

Error Handling

You can attach an error handler for non-blocking write operations:

const storage = new ValkeyStorage(() => valkeyClient, { maxAge: 3600 });

storage.onError(error => {
	console.error('Valkey error:', error);
	// Log to monitoring service, etc.
});

Batch Operations

ValkeyStorage supports efficient batch operations:

// Get multiple items
const items = await storage.getItems<User>(['user:1', 'user:2', 'user:3']);

// Set multiple items
await storage.setItems([
	{ key: 'user:1', content: user1 },
	{ key: 'user:2', content: user2 }
]);

Running Tests Locally

Start Valkey using Docker:

docker run -p 6379:6379 valkey/valkey:latest

Then run the tests:

npm test
