Hi, I read the thread but I'm unsure about what I understand.
If we set data on Redis using:
roomInstance.presence.hset(...)
Will the data be lost when the Room is disposed?
I think the data should be there until we manually delete it right?
If the data is lost when the Room is disposed, but I want the cached data to be still available, should I create a stand alone Redis client, and use the raw Redis API to cache data?
Please suggest... Any help is much appreciated! 😃
Hi, @itoonom, welcome!
If you're using Visual Studio Code, you can Right click + Go to definition (F12) on the RedisPresence, and redis.ClientOpts, which you'll see all accepted config values for RedisPresence constructor, which are:
export interface ClientOpts {
host?: string;
port?: number;
path?: string;
url?: string;
parser?: string;
string_numbers?: boolean;
return_buffers?: boolean;
detect_buffers?: boolean;
socket_keepalive?: boolean;
no_ready_check?: boolean;
enable_offline_queue?: boolean;
retry_max_delay?: number;
connect_timeout?: number;
max_attempts?: number;
retry_unfulfilled_commands?: boolean;
auth_pass?: string;
password?: string;
db?: string | number;
family?: string;
rename_commands?: { [command: string]: string } | null;
tls?: any;
prefix?: string;
retry_strategy?: RetryStrategy;
}
You should pass a plain JavaScript object BTW, no need to call new ClientOpts. Example:
new colyseus.RedisPresence({
// your Redis configs here
});
The data stored via the presence API is not disposed automatically. It's up to you when to remove them.

Thank you very much.
