Module '"@liaoliaots/nestjs-redis"' has no exported member 'InjectRedis'

[maheshupasani]

After upgrading version 9 to version 10, existing code is not working and the decorators are removed in new version 10.
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

src/databases/redis.service.ts:1:10 - error TS2305: Module '"@liaoliaots/nestjs-redis"' has no exported member 'InjectRedis'.
1 import { InjectRedis } from '@liaoliaots/nestjs-redis';
~~~~~~~~~~~

export class RedisService {
constructor(@InjectRedis() private readonly redisClient: Redis) { }
}

Steps to reproduce

Below is implementation that is working in v9.
src/databases/redis.service.ts:1:10 - error TS2305: Module '"@liaoliaots/nestjs-redis"' has no exported member 'InjectRedis'.
1 import { InjectRedis } from '@liaoliaots/nestjs-redis';
~~~~~~~~~~~

export class RedisService {
constructor(@InjectRedis() private readonly redisClient: Redis) { }
}

Expected behavior

It should work after upgrading it to v10 from v9

Environment

• OS: [e.g. Arch Linux]
• Other details that you think may affect.

Additional context

Add any other context about the problem here.

[Scalahansolo]

Read the v10 update release notes. InjectRedis was removed.

[liaoliaots]

InjectRedis has some issues which would lead to inconsistent behavior in production environments, so it has been removed for now.

[kameshpal]

what is the alternate approach to mitigate in v10 ?

@kameshpal As far as I know you would replace something like this:

import { Redis } from 'ioredis';

// ...

  constructor(
    // ...

    @InjectRedis()
    private readonly redis: Redis,

   // ...
) {

with this:

import { RedisService } from '@liaoliaots/nestjs-redis';

// ...

  constructor(
    // ...

    private readonly redisService: RedisService, // Or ClusterService depending on your situation

   // ...
) {

Then update your usage:

// Instead of this:

this.redis.setnx(...) // or whatever operation you want

// You'll do this:

this.redisService.getOrThrow().setnx(...) // there's also a getOrNil(), in either case, it's up to you to figure out error handling
