Installation

In your application root directory, enter this command to install the connector:

$ npm install loopback-connector-redis --save

This will install the module and add it as a dependency to the application’s package.json file.

Creating a Redis data source

Use the data source generator to add a Redis data source to your application. When prompted for the connector, choose other, then enter redis for the connector name. The entry in the application’s server/datasources.json will look like this:

"redisDS": {
  "name": "redisDS",
  "connector": "redis",
}

Edit datasources.json to add other properties that enable you to connect the data source to a Redis database.
