How to “EXPIRE” the “HSET” child key in redis?

Question

I need to expire all keys in redis hash, which are older than 1 month.

Answer 1

Regarding a NodeJS implementation, I have added a custom expiryTime field in the object I save in the HASH. Then after a specific period time, I clear the expired HASH entries by using the following code:

client.hgetall(HASH_NAME, function(err, reply) {
    if (reply) {
        Object.keys(reply).forEach(key => {
            if (reply[key] && JSON.parse(reply[key]).expiryTime < (new Date).getTime()) {
                client.hdel(HASH_NAME, key);
            }
        })
    }
});
