How do I prevent an ObjectID form becoming primitive when passing in and out of Redis?
Parsing to JSON string? Thanks!

What do you mean by "prevent an ObjectID form becoming primitive"? – yojimbo87 Sep 18 '11 at 09:02

Redis converts all objects to primitive strings and ints. – fancy Sep 18 '11 at 12:00

You can either store your object as JSON string representation in simple string or use hash data structure. Node.js node_redis module offers friendlier hash commands which may be useful. There is also a library for storing objects in redis called nohm which is based on object-hash mapping library ohm.

Using JSON.stringify() and JSON.parse() I don't think a hash structure helps here but maybe I'm doing it wrong? – fancy Sep 19 '11 at 16:35

@fancy: Try to look at [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5252456/storing-object-properties-in-redis) question and answer. Maybe it will help you. – yojimbo87 Sep 19 '11 at 18:03

yea, I use hashes like that. I still need to stringify and parse things to have them return as proper objects outside of redis. – fancy Sep 19 '11 at 18:35
