How to connect Redis in actionHero

[sanm...@gmail.com]

I am unable to use redis function inside action hero like redis.get,redis.set,redis.incr

I ma getting redis.get is not a function

inside an AH initializer, task or action, you'll have access to the `api` object. The redis connection (in v14), configured in config/redis.js, is available with api.config.redis.client. 

So to make a call to find the list length in redis, you'd make a call like 

api.config.redis.client.llen( key, function(err, length){
  api.log('length was ' + length);
} );

Actually, it is

api.redis.clients.client

Sorry for the confusion.
