import { Chat } from "chat";
import { createRedisState } from "@chat-adapter/state-redis";

const bot = new Chat({
  userName: "mybot",
  adapters: { /* ... */ },
  state: createRedisState(),
});

To provide a URL explicitly:

const state = createRedisState({ url: "redis://localhost:6379" });

Using an existing client

If you already have a connected Redis client, pass it directly:

import { createClient } from "redis";

const client = createClient({ url: "redis://localhost:6379" });
await client.connect();

const state = createRedisState({ client });

Key prefix

All keys are namespaced under a configurable prefix (default: "chat-sdk"):

const state = createRedisState({
  url: process.env.REDIS_URL!,
  keyPrefix: "my-bot",
});

Configuration

Option	Required	Description
`url`	No*	Redis connection URL (auto-detected from `REDIS_URL`)
`client`	No	Existing `redis` client instance
`keyPrefix`	No	Prefix for all keys (default: `"chat-sdk"`)
`logger`	No	Logger instance (defaults to `ConsoleLogger("info")`)

*Either url, REDIS_URL env var, or client is required.

Environment variables

REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379

For serverless deployments (Vercel, AWS Lambda), use a serverless-compatible Redis provider like Upstash.

Key structure

{keyPrefix}:subscriptions     - SET of subscribed thread IDs
{keyPrefix}:lock:{threadId}   - Lock key with TTL

Production recommendations

Use Redis 6.0+ for best performance
Enable Redis persistence (RDB or AOF)
Use Redis Cluster for high availability
Set appropriate memory limits
