I have a microservice in NestJs, here is the main.ts file:

async function bootstrap() {

  const app = await NestFactory.createMicroservice<MicroserviceOptions>(AppModule, {

    transport: Transport.REDIS,

    options: {

      url: 'redis://localhost:6379',

    }

  })

  await app.listen();

  console.log('Redis is running');

}

bootstrap();

I want to make calls to redis db from the service:

import { createClient } from '@redis/client';



async createWorkspaceShareCode(data: GetWorkspaceShareCodeMessage) {

    const client = createClient({

      url: 'redis://localhost:6379'

    });

    await client.connect();



    await client.set('key', 'value');

    const value = await client.get('key');

    return value;

  }

But that's not what I want, here are the issues:

• every time I make request, it creates new connection


• I need to write this code in each function to connect to redis (even though I'm already connected in main.ts file)
  Here is the question: how can I use some kind of RedisService in my NestJs microservice?
  I have already tried installing redis and nestjs-redis libraries, but the first one creates the issue described above and the second one just throws me an error: https://github.com/skunight/nestjs-redis/issues/97
