How should I add hiredis to my package.json file?

I see that installing hiredis requires a format I've not seen before. Instead of the expected:

npm install hiredis

...the format is actually:

npm install hiredis redis

How should I go about adding hiredis to my package.json dependencies so that it installs properly?

The redis module will automatically use hiredis if it's available.

npm install redis hiredis

is identical to

npm install redis
npm install hiredis

In short, just include it in your package.json like any other module.

"dependencies": {
  "redis": "",
  "hiredis": ""
}
