Redis & Node.js: All keys

Solution 1:

Sure, you'll need to install the redis module for nodejs which can be found at https://github.com/mranney/node_redis.

npm install node_redis

Update

The above command is no longer available. you can use the following:

npm install redis

Then you would do:

var redis = require('redis'),
    client = redis.createClient();

client.keys('*', function (err, keys) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);

  for(var i = 0, len = keys.length; i < len; i++) {
    console.log(keys[i]);
  }
});        

Generally speaking you won't want to always return all of the keys (performance will be bad for larger data sets), but this will work if you are just testing things out. There is even a nice warning in the Redis documentation:

Warning: consider KEYS as a command that should only be used in production environments with extreme care. It may ruin performance when it is executed against large databases. This command is intended for debugging and special operations, such as changing your keyspace layout. Don't use KEYS in your regular application code. If you're looking for a way to find keys in a subset of your keyspace, consider using sets.

Solution 2:

Install redis client for nodejs

npm install redis

Then I do the following to get all key's data

var redis =   require('redis'),
    client =  redis.createClient();

client.multi()
    .keys('*', function (err, replies) {
        // NOTE: code in this callback is NOT atomic
        // this only happens after the the .exec call finishes.

        console.log("MULTI got " + replies.length + " replies");

        replies.forEach(function (reply, index) {
            console.log("Reply " + index + ": " + reply.toString());
            client.get(reply, function(err, data){
                    console.log(data);
            });
        });

    })
    .exec(function (err, replies) {});

Solution 3:

npm install node_redis 

is no more available now. Use this instead -

npm install redis
