redis-om / Repository
A repository is the main interaction point for reading, writing, and removing Entities from Redis. Create one by calling Client.fetchRepository and passing in a Schema. Then use the Repository.fetch, Repository.save, and Repository.remove methods to manage your data:
let repository = client.fetchRepository<Foo>(schema);
let foo = await repository.fetch('01FK6TCJBDK41RJ766A4SBWDJ9');
foo.aString = 'bar';
foo.aBoolean = false;
await repository.save(foo);Be sure to use the repository to create a new instance of an Entity you want to create before you save it:
let foo = await repository.createEntity();
foo.aString = 'bar';
foo.aBoolean = false;
await repository.save(foo);If you want to the Repository.search method, you need to create an index first, and you need RediSearch or RedisJSON installed on your instance of Redis:
await repository.createIndex();
let entities = await repository.search()
.where('aString').eq('bar')
.and('aBoolean').is.false().returnAll();| Name | Type | Description |
