How to connect to ElastiCache cluster using node.js

Question

We know that ElastiCache is not recommended to be accessed outside Amazon instances, so we\'re trying below stuff inside Amazon EC2 instances only.

Sharing the code for future readers:

var RedisClustr = require('redis-clustr');
var RedisClient = require('redis');
var config = require("./config.json");

var redis = new RedisClustr({
    servers: [
        {
            host: config.redisClusterHost,
            port: config.redisClusterPort
        }
    ],
    createClient: function (port, host) {
        // this is the default behaviour
        return RedisClient.createClient(port, host);
    }
});

//connect to redis
redis.on("connect", function () {
  console.log("connected");
});

//check the functioning
redis.set("framework", "AngularJS", function (err, reply) {
  console.log("redis.set " , reply);
});

redis.get("framework", function (err, reply) {
  console.log("redis.get ", reply);
});
