This example demonstrates how to setup chat history storage using the `RedisByteStore` `BaseStore` integration.

Setup[​](#setup "Direct link to Setup")
---------------------------------------

*   npm
*   Yarn
*   pnpm

    npm install ioredis

    yarn add ioredis

    pnpm add ioredis

Usage[​](#usage "Direct link to Usage")
---------------------------------------

    import { Redis } from "ioredis";import { RedisByteStore } from "@langchain/community/storage/ioredis";import { AIMessage, HumanMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";// Define the client and storeconst client = new Redis({});const store = new RedisByteStore({  client,});// Define our encoder/decoder for converting between strings and Uint8Arraysconst encoder = new TextEncoder();const decoder = new TextDecoder();/** * Here you would define your LLM and chat chain, call * the LLM and eventually get a list of messages. * For this example, we'll assume we already have a list. */const messages = Array.from({ length: 5 }).map((_, index) => {  if (index % 2 === 0) {    return new AIMessage("ai stuff...");  }  return new HumanMessage("human stuff...");});// Set your messages in the store// The key will be prefixed with `message:id:` and end// with the index.await store.mset(  messages.map((message, index) => [    `message:id:${index}`,    encoder.encode(JSON.stringify(message)),  ]));// Now you can get your messages from the storeconst retrievedMessages = await store.mget(["message:id:0", "message:id:1"]);// Make sure to decode the valuesconsole.log(retrievedMessages.map((v) => decoder.decode(v)));/**[  '{"id":["langchain","AIMessage"],"kwargs":{"content":"ai stuff..."}}',  '{"id":["langchain","HumanMessage"],"kwargs":{"content":"human stuff..."}}'] */// Or, if you want to get back all the keys you can call// the `yieldKeys` method.// Optionally, you can pass a key prefix to only get back// keys which match that prefix.const yieldedKeys = [];for await (const key of store.yieldKeys("message:id:")) {  yieldedKeys.push(key);}// The keys are not encoded, so no decoding is necessaryconsole.log(yieldedKeys);/**[  'message:id:2',  'message:id:1',  'message:id:3',  'message:id:0',  'message:id:4'] */// Finally, let's delete the keys from the store// and close the Redis connection.await store.mdelete(yieldedKeys);client.disconnect();
