What's causing this error when connecting to RedisLab with Node.js (using ioredis), and how can it be resolved?

To establish a connection with Redis Lab in Node.js using ioredis, you can follow these steps. Firstly, install ioredis using npm. You can do this by running "npm install ioredis" in your terminal. Once you have installed ioredis, you can use the following code to connect to Redis Lab: 

const Redis = require('ioredis');
const redis = new Redis({
  port: 18094,
  host: 'redis-123.redislabs.com',
  password: ''
});

redis.ping((err, result) => {
  console.log(result); // if successful, logs 'PONG'
});
Make sure to replace `` with your actual password. This code should work for connecting with Redis Lab in Node.js using ioredis. Let me know if you have any other questions.

To connect with Redis Labs in Node.js using ioredis, you can follow the steps below: 1. Install ioredis package by running the following command in your terminal:
2. Import ioredis in your project: 
const Redis = require('ioredis');
3. Create a new Redis instance by passing the connection details as options: 
const redis = new Redis({
     host: 'redis-123.redislabs.com',
     port: 18094,
     password: 'your_password',
   });
Note: Replace your_password with the actual password for your Redis Labs instance. 4. You can now use the redis instance to perform Redis operations. For example: 
redis.set('key', 'value');
   const result = redis.get('key');
   console.log(result); // Output: Promise { <pending> }
Note: Redis operations in ioredis return Promises, so you'll need to use async/await or .then() to handle the results. 5. Don't forget to close the Redis connection when you're done using it: 
redis.quit();
Or you can use it as part of your exit strategy using a signal handler: 
process.on('SIGINT', async () => {
       await redis.quit();
       process.exit();
   });
That's it! You should now be able to connect to Redis Labs using ioredis in your Node.js project.
