Redis

Redis is used for minor caching and verifying some data. It is optional.

Configuring​

// Example redis configuration. All values are optional. It is disabled by default.
runServer({
    redis: {
        // defaults to 127.0.0.1
        host: "localhost",
        // defaults to 6379
        port: 6379,
        // defaults to no username
        username: "username",
        // defaults to no password
        password: "password",
        // is redis enabled, default to `false`
        enabled: true,
    },
})

Env values​

Zmaj supports providing Redis configuration with env variables. If values are provided both via code and via env, values in code will be used.

Example:

REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_ENABLED=true
REDIS_USERNAME=user
REDIS_PASSWORD=password

Disabling access tokens​

Redis is used for disabling access tokens, when user account is compromised (hacked). If there is no redis, compromised access token will be valid until it reaches end of life (20 minutes by default).
