Introduction

Welcome to “NodeJs with Redis Web App Part 3,” the multiple-series. In Part 2, you learned how to configure functionally for a specific part of the search feature for your application. When an exception is raised, an error message will display on the browser. Today, in Part 3, it continues with the search feature lesson for NodeJs Redis Web App.

If you already know how to configure the search feature, and want to bypass these steps, go to The Code.

Prerequisites

• Complete the lessons for Parts 1 and 2 of the multiple-series tutorial, “NodeJs with Redis Web App.”

Retrieve a Redis Document via ID using NodeJs

In Part 2 of the NodeJs Redis Web App tutorial, you did frontend work on the application. When a user tries to retrieve data and an error occurs, the browser displays it. On the backend, the RETRIEVE function was being used.

Here in Part 3, you’ll learn how to view the records when the user receives an error.

• Navigate to the directory called views.

• Next, make a handlebars new file with the name details.

• Use the format below to structure your HTML file. Doing this will allow the results from a user’s encountered error to show.

Search User

Creating a Sample Dataset

Construct a dataset to use as a sample you to use with this tutorial.

• In the terminal, open redis-cli.

• Make a few records using the Redis HMSET command.

Note: When you add a record, you’ll receive an OK notice after each one. This indicates the addition was a success.

• Execute your application with the nodemon app.js command:

• Next, go to the browser localhost:3000 URL.

• Try a basic search to test your NodeJs Redis Web app. Input usr101 as the ID. If you want to, you could opt to try usr102.

Adding a Redis Document using NodeJs

The Redis server successfully retrieved the documents. You can also use your application to add a record as opposed to using the command line as you did earlier.

Creating the Frontend for Adding user

• Construct a new view in the folder views and save it as add.handlebars for its name.

• Make the structure HTML to show the page for the add user.

NOTE: The route user/add will show the data for the form.

Coding the Insert Operation to Redis

Configure the application to fill in the form’s values for your NodeJs Redis Web App. When finished, the result should look similar to this:

• As shown above, the code illustrates that the function request.body applies the form’s variables.

• Next, the actions are executed with the function .hmset().

• Errors are logged now with the extra function. A redirection to the Search User page will happen.

When you finished making the data additions, you could successfully query it.

Conclusion

This concludes Part 3 of the multiple-series tutorial about NodeJs Redis Web. In this lesson, you learned more about how to use the search feature and create a search user page for your NodeJs Redis app. You configured the search feature to save error logs and redirect to the page Search User. For testing the examples given, you also created sample datasets. Refer to this lesson as a reference in your NodeJs Redis projects.
