--- id: redis title: Redis --- ToolJet enables you to execute Redis commands on your Redis instances. ## Connecting to Redis To connect to a Redis instance, you can either click the **+Add new data source** button on the query panel or navigate to the **[Data Sources](/docs/data-sources/overview)** page in the ToolJet dashboard.
Redis Connection
**To connect ToolJet with Redis, you need to provide the following connection details:** - **Host**: The address or hostname of the Redis server. - **Port**: The port number used by the Redis server (default is 6379). - **Username**: The username used for authentication. - **Password**: The password used for authentication. - **TLS**: Toggle to enable/disable TLS connection. - **TLS Certificate**: Choose the type of TLS certificate (None, CA certificate, or Client certificate). Depending on the TLS certificate option selected, you may need to provide additional information: - For **CA certificate**: - **CA Cert**: The CA certificate for TLS connection. - For **Client certificate**: - **CA Cert**: The CA certificate for TLS connection. - **Client Key**: The client key for TLS connection. - **Client Cert**: The client certificate for TLS connection. :::info Click on the **Test connection** button to verify if the credentials are correct and that the Redis server is accessible to the ToolJet server. Click on the **Save** button to save the data source. ::: ## Redis Queries Here are some examples of Redis commands and their usage. You can refer to the [Redis Official Documentation](https://redis.io/commands) for a complete list of supported commands. ### PING Command The `PING` command is used to test the connection to Redis. If the connection is successful, the Redis server will respond with `PONG`. ```shell PING ``` ### SET Command The `SET` command is used in Redis to assign a value to a specific key. ```shell SET key value ``` **Example 1/2:** When the input value contains spaces, you should encode the value before providing it as an input: ```shell SET products {{encodeURI('John Doe')}} ```

### GET Command The `GET` command is used in Redis to retrieve the value associated with a specific key. ```shell GET key ``` **Example 2/2:** To retrieve a value that was previously encoded while setting, you can use transformations. - Enter the GET command in the editor: ```shell GET products ``` - Enable Transformations (JS) and use `decodeURI`: ```js return JSON.parse(decodeURI(data)); ```
