@marianmeres/kv

Key-value storage abstraction layer with support of multiple backend adapters:

• redis
• postgresql
• memory
• Deno KV (only in Deno runtime)

The API is inspired by the Redis API.

Installation

deno add jsr:@marianmeres/kv

npm i @marianmeres/kv

Usage

import { createKVClient } from '@marianmeres/kv';

// Basic usage with memory adapter (default)
const client = createKVClient("my-app-namespace:");

// Or specify a different adapter type
const redisClient = createKVClient(
    "my-app-namespace:",
    'redis', // 'redis' | 'postgres' | 'deno-kv' | 'memory'
    { db: myRedisClient } // adapter-specific options
);

// Use the client
await client.set('my:foo:key', { my: "value" });
await client.get('my:foo:key'); // { my: "value" }
await client.keys('my:*'); // ['my:foo:key']

Important: Namespace must end with a colon (:) or be an empty string.

API

client.set(key: string, value: any, options?): Promise<boolean>
client.get(key: string): Promise<any>
client.delete(key: string): Promise<boolean>
client.exists(key: string): Promise<boolean>
client.keys(pattern: string): Promise<string[]>
client.clear(pattern: string): Promise<number>
client.setMultiple(keyValuePairs: [string, any][], options?): Promise<any[]>
client.getMultiple(keys: string[]): Promise<Record<string, any>>
client.transaction(operations: Operation[]): Promise<any[]>
client.expire(key: string, ttl: number): Promise<boolean>
client.ttl(key: string): Promise<Date | null | false>

Adapter-Specific Limitations

Deno KV

• delete(): Always returns true, even for non-existent keys (Deno.Kv limitation)
• expire(): Not supported - always returns false
• ttl(): Not supported - always returns null
• Note: TTL can be set during set() operation, but cannot be queried or modified after

Redis

• keys() and clear(): Not supported in cluster mode (throws error)
• Namespace: Required (cannot be empty string)

PostgreSQL

• Creates a table (default: __kv) in your database
• Supports optional TTL cleanup via ttlCleanupIntervalSec option

Memory

• Data is not persisted (in-memory only)
• Supports optional TTL cleanup via ttlCleanupIntervalSec option
