How to store numbers in Redis?

Question

JavaScript

There is an application on Node.js and a Redis server where values ​​are written in the form

client.hmset(id, {
      'name': 'John',
      'age': 25
    })

I am trying to get the age values ​​like this

client.hgetall(id, function(err, obj){
      console.log(obj.age);               // 25
      console.log(typeof(obj.age));   // String
})

Those. as I understand it, all data in Redis is stored as strings? Or is it still possible to store int values ​​somehow?
I just don’t want to apply every time I get such a value
Number(obj.age);

Answer 1

Stored always and exclusively as strings (except bitmasks https://redis.io/topics/data-types
) you definitely need to do type casting, where you need it
