Index Management

Overview

Create, inspect, and drop search indexes. Wait for indexing to complete after data changes. Indexes automatically track Redis keys matching a specified prefix.

Good For

• Creating indexes over existing or new Redis data
• Inspecting index schema and configuration
• Rebuilding or dropping indexes
• Ensuring data consistency after bulk writes

Examples

Create an Index

import { Redis, s } from "@upstash/redis";

const redis = Redis.fromEnv();

// JSON index with nested schema
const index = await redis.search.createIndex({
  name: "products",
  prefix: "product:",
  dataType: "json",
  schema: s.object({
    name: s.string(),
    price: s.number("F64"),
    metadata: s.object({
      brand: s.facet(),
      tags: s.keyword(),
    }),
  }),
});

// Hash index (flat schema only)
const hashIndex = await redis.search.createIndex({
  name: "sessions",
  prefix: "session:",
  dataType: "hash",
  schema: {
    userId: { type: "TEXT" as const },
    lastActive: { type: "DATE" as const },
  },
});

Create with Options

const index = await redis.search.createIndex({
  name: "articles",
  prefix: ["article:", "post:"], // multiple prefixes
  dataType: "json",
  language: "english", // stemming language
  skipInitialScan: false, // scan existing keys (default)
  existsOk: true, // don't error if index already exists
  schema: s.object({
    title: s.string(),
    body: s.string().noStem(),
    publishedAt: s.date().fast(),
  }),
});

Get a Reference to an Existing Index

// If you already created the index and just need a reference
const index = redis.search.index({
  name: "products",
  schema: s.object({
    name: s.string(),
    price: s.number("F64"),
  }),
});

// Without schema (untyped - no filter/select type safety)
const untypedIndex = redis.search.index({ name: "products" });

Describe an Index

const description = await index.describe();
// {
//   name: "products",
//   dataType: "json",
//   prefixes: ["product:"],
//   language: "english",
//   schema: { name: { type: "TEXT" }, price: { type: "F64", fast: true } }
// }

// Returns null if index doesn't exist
const missing = await redis.search.index({ name: "nonexistent" }).describe();
// null
