A high performance javascript redis parser built for node_redis and ioredis. Parses all RESP data.
Install with NPM:
npm install redis-parser
const Parser = require('redis-parser');
const myParser = new Parser(options);returnReply: function; mandatoryreturnError: function; mandatoryreturnFatalError: function; optional, defaults to the returnError functionreturnBuffers: boolean; optional, defaults to falsestringNumbers: boolean; optional, defaults to false
reset(): reset the parser to it's initial statesetReturnBuffers(boolean): set the returnBuffers option on/off without resetting the parsersetStringNumbers(boolean): set the stringNumbers option on/off without resetting the parser

All Redis errors will be returned as ReplyErrors while a parser error is returned as ParserError.
All error classes can be imported by the npm redis-errors package.
const Parser = require("redis-parser");
class Library {
returnReply(reply) { /* ... */ }
returnError(err) { /* ... */ }
returnFatalError(err) { /* ... */ }
streamHandler() {
this.stream.on('data', (buffer) => {
// Here the data (e.g. `Buffer.from('$5\r\nHello\r\n'`))
// is passed to the parser and the result is passed to
// either function depending on the provided data.
parser.execute(buffer);
});
}
}
const lib = new Library();
const parser = new Parser({
returnReply(reply) {
lib.returnReply(reply);
},
returnError(err) {
lib.returnError(err);
},
returnFatalError(err) {
lib.returnFatalError(err);
}
});You do not have to use the returnFatalError function. Fatal errors will be returned in the normal error function in that case.
And if you want to return buffers instead of strings, you can do this by adding the returnBuffers option.
If you handle with big numbers that are to large for JS (Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER === 2^53 - 16) please use the stringNumbers option. That way all numbers are going to be returned as String and you can handle them safely.
// Same functions as in the first example
const parser = new Parser({
returnReply(reply) {
lib.returnReply(reply);
},
returnError(err) {
lib.returnError(err);
},
returnBuffers: true, // All strings are returned as Buffer e.g. <Buffer 48 65 6c 6c 6f>
stringNumbers: true // All numbers are returned as String
});
// The streamHandler as aboveTo handle protocol errors (this is very unlikely to happen) gracefully you should add the returnFatalError option, reject any still running command (they might have been processed properly but the reply is just wrong), destroy the socket and reconnect. Note that while doing this no new command may be added, so all new commands have to be buffered in the meantime, otherwise a chunk might still contain partial data of a following command that was already processed properly but answered in the same chunk as the command that resulted in the protocol error.
The parser is highly optimized but there may still be further optimizations possible.
