Description
I have tried out this library for caching API requests with Redis (v4+), using the redisCacheAdapter for adapter.
I followed the documentation on how to set up caching, but every request made through the getFreshValue method I passed in it.
After some debugging, I found that the cachified call suppresses an error when setting a value into redis, so I tried manually calling the adapter's set method:
await cachifiedCache.set('key', { value: 1, metadata: { ttl: 60000, createdTime: new Date().getTime() } })
That revealed the error, which was the following: ERR value is not an integer or out of range. Which was strange, since the ttl value I passed should not be problematic, so I checked out the adapter's source code and found how the expiration is set:
{
EXAT: (ttl + createdTime) / 1000
}
Based on the above, I think redis needs an unix timestamp passed to the EXAT param, that is why the / 1000 is there, but if we come from a javascript time, that won't be an integer:
const time = new Date().getTime() // something like: 1670395771645
console.log((300_000 + time) / 1000) // will log 1670396071.645
I copied the redisCacheAdapter into my code and updated the setter to:
{
EXAT: Math.round((ttl + createdTime) / 1000),
}
And now it works for me. :)
