Redis Clients

Once a data store's Status is Active, you can connect to it with any Redis client using the Connection URI provided in the data store drawer (e.g., rediss://default:XXXXX@abcde.dragonflydb.cloud:6385). Here are a few popular client libraries and code snippets to connect to the data store.

Redis CLI

• Install redis-cli.
• With the Connection URI from the data store drawer, execute redis-cli in the terminal:

$> redis-cli -u <CONNECTION_URI> PING

JavaScript | Typescript | Node.js

• Install the ioredis package.
• Use the following code snippet to connect to the data store:

const Redis = require("ioredis");

// Replace <CONNECTION_URI> with the actual Dragonfly Cloud connection URI.
const client = new Redis("<CONNECTION_URI>");
client.ping().then(resp => console.log(resp));

Python

• Install the redis-py package.
• Use the following code snippet to connect to the data store:

import redis

# Replace <CONNECTION_URI> with the actual Dragonfly Cloud connection URI.
client = redis.Redis.from_url("<CONNECTION_URI>")
client.ping()

Go

• Install the go-redis package.
• Use the following code snippet to connect to the data store:

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"

    "github.com/redis/go-redis/v9"
)

func main() {
    // Replace <CONNECTION_URI> with the actual Dragonfly Cloud connection URI.
    // Note that <db> is the database number, and its default value is 0.

    opts, err := redis.ParseURL("<CONNECTION_URI>/<db>")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    client := redis.NewClient(opts)

    pong, err := client.Ping(context.Background()).Result()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(pong)
}
