Index and query documents

Learn how to use the Redis Query Engine with JSON and hash documents.

This example shows how to create a search index for JSON documents and run queries against the index. It then goes on to show the slight differences in the equivalent code for hash documents.

Note:

From v5.0.0 onwards, node-redis uses query dialect 2 by default. Redis query engine methods such as ft.search() will explicitly request this dialect, overriding the default set for the server. See Query dialects for more information.

Initialize

Make sure that you have Redis Open Source or another Redis server available. Also install the node-redis client library if you haven't already done so.

Add the following dependencies:

Add the data

Add the three sets of user data to the database as JSON objects. If you use keys with the user: prefix then Redis will index the objects automatically as you add them. Note that placing the commands in a Promise.all() call is an easy way to create a pipeline, which is more efficient than sending the commands individually.

Differences with hash documents

Indexing for hash documents is very similar to JSON indexing but you need to specify some slightly different options.

When you create the schema for a hash index, you don't need to add aliases for the fields, since you use the basic names to access the fields anyway. Also, you must use HASH for the ON option when you create the index. The code below shows these changes with a new index called hash-idx:users, which is otherwise the same as the idx:users index used for JSON documents in the previous examples.

First, drop any existing index to avoid a collision.
