Question 121844 in Redis Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Module '"redis"' has no exported member 'RedisClient'

I am creating a multi-node Express/Socket.io server using Typescript and I am trying to import RedisClient from redis, but I can’t get it to work because I get the error

Module ‘"redis"’ has no exported member ‘RedisClient’

It seems to be trying to retrieve it form

node_modules/redis/dist/index

But in reality it is here:

node_modules/@types/redis"

How can I get it to import from the right place?

    After checking for some time I realized that things changed and the documentation states that you now do NOT need to use RedisClient. You now need to use:

    import { createClient } from "redis";

    This is what things look like now:

    const pubClient = createClient({ url: `redis://<path to redis>:6379` });

    Looks like Redis package has been officially updated to v4 recently, which introduced some breaking changes, including several interface changes.

    I recommend to temporarily use the v3 until all your dependencies (including @types/redis) are properly updated:

    npm install redis@3
