redis-mock

The goal of the redis-mock project is to create a feature-complete mock of https://github.com/mranney/node_redis, so that it may be used interchangeably when writing unit tests for code that depends on Redis.

All operations are performed in-memory, why no Redis installation is required.

Install with:

npm install redis-mock

Usage

var redis = require("redis-mock"),
    client = redis.createClient();

If you want to test your app under failing conditions, you can instead instantiate RedisErrorMock

var RedisErrorMock = require("redis-mock").RedisErrorMock;
var redis = new RedisErrorMock();

var client = redis.createClient(); // Emits "error"

client.on("error", function(err) {
  // Fail gracefully
});

API

redis-mock is a WIP, why most commands are not yet available. Currently implemented are the following:

General

• createClient
• end

Events

• ready
• connect
• end
• quit
• subscribe
• unsubscribe
• message

Publish/subscribe

• publish
• subscribe
• unsubscribe

Keys

• del
• keys
• exists
• expire
• ttl

Strings

• get
• set
• mget
• setnx

Hashing

• hset
• hsetnx
• hget
• hexists
• hdel
• hlen
• hgetall
• hmset
• hmget
• hkeys
• hincrby

Lists

• llen
• lpush
• rpush
• lpushx
• rpushx
• lpop
• rpop
• blpop
• brpop
• lindex
• lset

Server

• flushdb
• flushall

Cross verification

If you want to add new tests to the test base it is important that they work too on node_redis (we are creating a mock...). You can therefore run the tests using redis instead of redis-mock. To do so:

	make check-tests

You will need to have a running instance of redis on you machine and our tests use `flushdb a lot so make sure you don't have anything important on it.
