**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 :::info Click on **Test connection** button to verify if the credentials are correct and that the Redis is accessible to ToolJet server. Click on **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)); ```
