Executing REDIS Command in Node.js

Question

I am writing a Node app. This app interacts with a REDIS database. To do that, I'm using node_redis. Sometimes, I want to just execute a command using a line of text. In other words, I want to do a pass through without using the wrapper functions. For instance, I may have:

set myKey myValue

I would LOVE to be able to just execute that without having to break apart the text and call client.set('mykey', 'myValue'); Is there a way to just execute a command like that against REDIS in the Node world? If so, how?

Thanks!

You should be able to use client.send_command(command_name, args, callback) to send arbitrary commands to redis. Args can be empty and so in your case you would just call client.send_command('set myKey myValue', null, cb).

But when I am using the same command, I am getting an error - "Cannot read property 'length' of null"
