How to connect to Redis from 3rd party client?

[JonL]

Related to this @patrick and @mebeingken. There is shortcoming for redis connection string.

Config.json not being parsed?

@patrick I need to set Redis based on environment variables. Would you be so king to make the config.json so it’s parsed same as the app/modules/connections/db.json files are? "redis": "{{$_ENV.REDIS_URL}}", "session": { "store": { "$type": "redis" } } } Or treat redis as a connection(it probably should be) and move it into the /app/modules/connections and refactor the db and redis config logic while keeping the config.json unparseable.

In the meantime I have another deviation from the core.

lib/setup/redis.js

const config = require('./config');

if (config.redis) {
    const redis = require('redis');
    global.redisClient = redis.createClient(config.redis === true ? 'redis://redis' : process.env.REDIS_URL);
}

module.exports = global.redisClient;

If Wappler UI flag for redis is true it will remain the same. If not it will read from the environment variable which is what I normally use.
