Simple key-value storage with support for multiple backends

Getting Started

Keyv provides a consistent interface for key-value storage across multiple backends via storage adapters. It supports TTL-based expiry, making it suitable as a cache or a persistent key-value store.

Install Keyv:

npm install keyv

By default everything is stored in memory. You can optionally install a storage adapter for persistent backends:

npm install @keyv/redis

Use it:

import Keyv from 'keyv';

const keyv = new Keyv();
await keyv.set('foo', 'bar');
await keyv.get('foo'); // 'bar'

For the full API documentation, see the Keyv README.

Third-party Storage Adapters

We love the community and the third-party storage adapters they have built. They enable Keyv to be used with even more backends and use cases.

Keyv v5 to v6

We are actively working on Keyv v6, which includes several major changes such as improved TypeScript support, enhanced hooks system, and streamlined storage adapter interfaces. You can follow along with the development and see the full migration guide at https://keyv.org/docs/keyv-v5-to-v6

No major functionality will be added to Keyv v5. Only maintenance and security fixes will be applied going forward.
