How to use type/redis with redis?

Question

Hi I am new at typescript and doing some demo projects using NestJs. I want to integrate redis. I was looking for some typescript friendly packages and found @type/redis here. But all it says is its a type definition of redis github. But I am not understanding how to use them together. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Just install both packages: npm install redis @types/redis and use it in your project: import redis = require('redis'). Types hints should appear in TypeScript enabled editor.
