How to set Redis database number?

[bivanychko-intobi]

Out of the box, a Redis instance supports 16 logical databases. These databases are effectively siloed off from one another, and when you run a command in one database it doesn’t affect any of the data stored in other databases in your Redis instance. Redis databases are numbered from 0 to 15 and, by default, you connect to database 0 when you connect to your Redis instance. However, you can change the database you’re using with the select command after you connect:
127.0.0.1:6379 > select 15
127.0.0.1:6379[15] > ...

So my question is next: how can I set this db number for my redis instance in loopback? I saw that in redis connector config there is property called 'database' but I am not sure if it's the property I am looking for

did you manage to fix this?

You are correct : the 'database' property is what you are looking. Check below my redis.datasource.ts

@lifeCycleObserver('datasource')
export class RedisDataSource extends juggler.DataSource implements LifeCycleObserver {
static dataSourceName = 'redis';

constructor(
@Inject('datasources.config.redis', { optional: true })
dsConfig: object = { ...config },
) {
// Override data source config from environment variables
Object.assign(dsConfig, {
host: process.env.REDIS_HOST,
port: process.env.REDIS_PORT,
password: process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD,
db: process.env.REDIS_DATABASE,
url: process.env.REDIS_URL,
});
super(dsConfig);
}
