RedisStore throws error when client object is passed

const client = createClient();
const requestLimiter = rateLimit({
  store: new RedisStore({
    client
  }),
  windowMs: 1 * 60 * 1000 * 60, // 1h
  max: 100, // Limit IP to 100 requests per hour
  message: "Request limit exceeded! try again in a short while",
});

Throws the following error:

TypeError: options.client.multi(...).incr(...).pttl is not a function

Any solution please? I need to use the redis container in my docker network

@jesseinvent I think this should be left open as an issue. This project needs updating to account for the version of client that might be passed in - right now it will use it as if it were a v3 client even if it is not.

Hi,

I recently helped out with the Typescript rewrite (PR #43), which also changes how the store interacts with Redis - v3.0.0 (~will be released soon!~ released!) accepts the sendCommand option instead of the client option.

sendCommand is a (sync/async) function that takes the raw command as an array of strings and returns the number or string response from redis. This makes the store compatible with all clients that have a public method to send raw commands to redis.

Please do take a look at the readme for examples of using the store with Redis and IORedis clients. The value to be passed for sendCommand option is also given here for most Redis clients.
