I’m using Nest 7.1.5 and ioredis 4.17.3. I’m trying to create a RedisService and inject it afterwards.
Here is what I have so far:
redis.providers.ts
import { Provider } from '@nestjs/common';
import Redis from 'ioredis';
import { REDIS_CLIENT } from './redis.constants';
export type RedisClient = Redis.Redis;
export const redisProviders: Provider[] = [
{
useFactory: (): RedisClient => {
return new Redis({
host: 'localhost',
port: 6379,
});
},
provide: REDIS_CLIENT,
}
]
redis.service.ts
import { Injectable, Inject } from '@nestjs/common';
import { REDIS_CLIENT } from './redis.constants';
import { RedisClient } from './redis.providers';
@Injectable()
export class RedisService {
public constructor(
@Inject(REDIS_CLIENT)
private readonly redisClient: RedisClient,
) { }
}
redis.module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { redisProviders } from './redis.providers';
import { RedisService } from './redis.service';
@Module({
providers: [...redisProviders, RedisService],
exports: [...redisProviders, RedisService],
})
export class RedisModule { }
When I try to inject this service I got this error:
[12:25:57 PM] Found 0 errors. Watching for file changes.
/path/redis-setup/dist/shared/redis/redis.service.js:28
__metadata("design:paramtypes", [typeof (_a = typeof redis_providers_1.RedisClient !== "undefined" && redis_providers_1.RedisClient) === "function" ? _a : Object])

What am I missing here? Any help or thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.

try adding
"esModuleInterop": true
inside your tsconfig.jsonYou will need to install the type
npm install @types/ioredis --save-dev
Then in the code you will have to change from RedisClient to simple Redis. In the latest version there’s no RedisClient as type.
