short answer - you can't. redis accepts lua scripts as strings. if you want to load lua files, you'll need to create a convenience wrapper yourself using your favorite programming language.

What programming language do you use? It is recommended to embed the script into the client language you are using and then execute an eval.

You have said that you are using javascript & node.js.

Take a look at this example:


You need to use the node_redis client and run an eval with-in javascript.

It is usually not recommend to run the load script command and then run the script.

The recommended pattern is to run the evalsha, and if that fails, run the eval.  In that manner your script will be loaded and you can reuse it.

Otherwise you have to find a client application that will allow you to run a script load command. You may be able to use the script load redis-cli command, not in the shell but one the command line.  Never done it.

Here is a cute little 1 liner i found at https://www.redisgreen.net/blog/intro-to-lua-for-redis-programmers/
redis-cli EVAL "$(cat hello.lua)" 0

Sure, that works, but true Redis Masters use `redis-cli --eval file.lua k1 k2 , arg1 arg2` ;)
