This module is no longer needed for node_redis from v.1.0.0 on. node_redis has a built-in url option
A module for parsing redis://..
URLs into
node_redis-friendly options.
Can also create actual client instance for your convenience.
var redis = require('redis');
var parseRedisUrl = require('parse-redis-url')(redis);
var url = 'redis://dummy:password@example.com:5555/42';
// create a new client from URL
parseRedisUrl.createClient(url, function(err, client) {
if (err) return callback(err);
// do something with client
});
// simply parse URL for connection options
// please note that username is not used by Redis,
// so it's not included in the result
var options = parseRedisUrl.parse(url);
// { host: 'example.com',
// port: 5555,
// password: 'password',
// database: 42 }
