Node.js Connecting to redis cluster

Question

There are tons of examples and resources for connecting to a redis "server" but not to a redis "cluster".

What I currently have is:

const redis = require("redis"); 
const client = redis.createClient({
 port : 6379, // replace with your port
 host : '10.0.0.100', // replace with your hostanme or IP address
 password : 'Notforyou', // replace with your password
 // optional, if using SSL
 // use `fs.readFile[Sync]` or another method to bring these values in
 tls : {
 key : stringValueOfKeyFile, 
 cert : stringValueOfCertFile,
 ca : [ stringValueOfCaCertFile ]
 }
});

But this is for a single redis server not a cluster. How would I go about connecting to my cluster?

Answer 1

The Readme tab in redis npm package has this link(Clustering Guide) explaining how to connect to redis cluster with node under heading 'Clustering'. It's very simple, create a cluster instead of creating client and configure the nodes url as given in this example
