how to set a expire time

[BridgeAR]

Please check the commands dcoumentation. Every part has it’s own parameter so you would write something like:

client.set(key, value, 'EX', 60 * 60 * 24, callback);

@BridgeAR: Understood, but you’re kind of missing the point. Perhaps this is just me being lazy, but I refuse to learn the entire native Redis API just so I can stick things in and pull things out. Maybe I shouldn’t be using the node_redis library then. Maybe I should be using something else that sits on top of it and abstracts this away from me. However, like I said before, I think most people use Redis as a cache and there is nothing in the node_redis documentation that even mentions the word “expire” or “expiration” (or even the “EX” command or TTLs) so without digging into the official Redis documentation it’s hard to understand how to actually set a TTL for a key, an action that I expect the majority of people will need to do.
