Source Adapter Store API (JavaScript)

RhoConnect provides a simple redis interface for saving/retrieving arbitrary data. This is useful if you want to save data in your application to be used later (i.e. in an async job or a subsequent source adapter execution). As with the other JavaScript methods execution is asynchronous, so be sure to call resp.send() or your method will hang.

Setup

To create a Store object that you can use in your model:

var rc = require('rhoconnect_helpers');
var Store = rc.Store;

getValue(resp,callback)

Retrieve a simple value from redis.

var value = '';
resp.params = 'hello';
Store.getValue(resp, function(resp){
  value = resp.result;
  // value is now 'world'
  resp.send(resp.result);
});

putValue(resp,callback)

Add a simple value to redis. The first array item is the key, the second is the value.

resp.params = ['hello', 'world']
Store.putValue(resp, function(resp){
  resp.send(true);
});

getData(resp,callback)

Retrieve an array or hash from redis.

// assuming 'foo' contains {'1': {'name': 'iPhone'}}
resp.params = 'foo';
Store.getData(resp,function(resp){
  resp.send(resp.result);
  // returns {'1': {'name': 'iPhone'}}
});

putData(resp,callback)

Add an array or hash to redis. The key and data are contained in the resp.params object.

resp.params = [
  'foo',
  { '1': {'name': 'iPhone'} }
]
Store.putData(resp,function(resp){
  resp.send(resp.result);
});
// 'foo' key now contains { '1': {'name': 'iPhone'} }
