Getting Started with Redis on Node

Installing Redis on Windows is surprisingly easy!

Install Redis on Windows

  1. Go to the releases page of the Redis for Windows repo: https://github.com/MicrosoftArchive/redis/releases
  2. Download the 'Redis-x64-xxx.zip' file. You can use any version. Make sure you do not download the 'source code' zip.
  3. Unzip the file
  4. In the newly created folder, run redis-server.exe 
  5. You should see a window appear that says redis is running on port 6379.

Run Redis

  1. Open a folder in Terminal
  2. Install redis
    1. npm install --save redis
  3. Run node
    1. node
  4. Run the following one after the other to get started with redis set and get
    1. const redis = require('redis');
    2. const redisUrl = 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379'
    3. const client = redis.createClient(redisUrl)
    4. client
    5. client.set('hi', 'there');
    6. client.get('hi', (err, value) => console.log(value));
    7. client.get('hi', console.log);

Example of using hash inside values with hset and hget

    1. client.hset('german', 'red', 'rot');
    2. client.hget('german', 'red', console.log);
    3. client.hset('german', 'blue', 'blau');
    4. client.hget('german', 'blue', console.log);

Cannot set value to be Javascript Object

    1. client.set('javascriptObject', { red: 'rojo' }); ❌
    2. client.get('javascriptObject', console.log);

Output:

null '[object Object]'

Workaround: Use JSON.stringify()

    1. client.set('jsonString', JSON.stringify({ red: 'rojo' })); ✔️
    2. client.get('jsonString', console.log);

Output:

null '{"red":"rojo"}'

Get and convert back to Javascript Object

  1. client.get('jsonString', (err, value) => console.log(JSON.parse(value)));

Output:

{ red: 'rojo' }

Python - List - Append, Count, Extend, Index, Insert, Pop, Remove, Reverse, Sort

🐍 Advance List List is widely used and it's functionalities are heavily useful. Append Adds one element at the end of the list. Syntax list1.append(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append(4) l1 Output [1, 2, 3, 4] append can be used to add any datatype in a list. It can even add list inside list. Caution: Append does not return anything. It just appends the list. Count .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.count(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3] l1.count(3) Output 2 It returns 0 if the value is not found in the list. Extend .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.extend(list) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.extend([4, 5]) Output [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] If we use append, entire list will be added to the first list like one element. Extend, i nstead of considering a list as one element, it joins the two lists one after other. Append works in the following way. Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append([4, 5]) Output...

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

Resolve: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function

If you are getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function Resolve it by including firebase-database.js in your html page as follows: <!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first --> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-app.js" ></script> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.1.0/firebase-database.js" ></script> That is it. Let me know if this was helpful.
