Specify ip version?

[kentcdodds]

With v3:

redis.createClient({
  url: myUrl,
  family: 'IPv6',
})

I looked around and couldn't figure out how to specify the ip version. Is this no longer possible?

options.socket is passed to net.createConnection, which will pass it forward to new Socket and socket.connect, so basiclly you can set any option you want on the socket by including it in the socket object:

redis.createClient({
  url: 'redis://2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334:6379',
  socket: {
    family: 6
  }
});

redis.createClient({
  socket: {
    ip: '2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334',
    family: 6,
    port: 6379
  }
});

I'll close this issue when I'll update the docs & types.

Thanks!

The TypeScript types aren't too happy with that unfortunately. Am I doing something wrong?

@kentcdodds you are doing it right, the RedisSocketOptions type is incorrect... I've already fixed it in e81bf64, and it'll be released in redis@4.0.1 and @node-redis/client@1.0.1.

Do you have a release schedule published anywhere?
