    Depends on the version of Node Redis that you are using. Since it looks like you are using Node Redis 3.x it would look like this:

    const client = redis.createClient({
  host: "localhost",
  port: 6379,
  password: "1234",
  user: "username"
});

    You could also connect using a connection string:

    const client = redis.createClient("redis://username:1234@localhost:6379");

    Full documentation for 3.x is available on the tagged branch in the GitHub repo for Node Redis.

    That said, I would recommend using Node Redis 4.x as it supports Promises, newer Redis commands, and many common Redis modules like RedisJSON and RediSearch.

    To connect using 4.x:

    const client = redis.createClient({
  socket: {
    host: "localhost",
    port: 6379
  }
  password: "1234",
  username: "username"
});

    or:

    const client = redis.createClient({ url: "redis://username:1234@localhost:6379" });

    Details on connecting using Node Redis 4.x can be found in the README on the main branch of Node Redis and in the Client Configuration Guide.

    To connect Nodejs Project with Redis Version ^4.x:

    const redisClient = redis.createClient({
  socket: {
    host: "localhost",
    port: 6379
  }
  password: "1234",
  username: "username"
});
redisClient.on("error", (error) => console.error(`Error : ${error}`));
redisClient.connect();

    If you don’t Provide socket, password or username then by default it will connection on 127.0.0.1:6379

    for by Default Connection use Beloved mention code

    const redisClient = redis.createClient();
redisClient.on("error", (error) => console.error(`Error : ${error}`));
redisClient.connect();
