 # kth-node-redis
+
 Redis client module for Node.js. Everything with Promises!
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+const redis = require('kth-redis');
+
+// basics
+redis('default', { /* optional redis client config */ })
+  .then(function(client) {
+    return client.getAsync('key');
+  })
+  .then(function(value) {
+    // do something with value
+  })
+  .catch(function(err) {
+    // handle error
+  });
+
+// multi
+redis('default', { /* optional redis client config */ })
+  .then(function(client) {
+    return client.multi()
+      .hmset('foo', { value: 'bar' })
+      .expire('foo', 30)
+      .hgetall('foo')
+      .execAsync();
+  })
+  .then(function(results) {
+    // results[1] => 'OK'
+    // results[1] => 1
+    // results[2] => { value: 'bar' }
+
+    // results will depend on what commands are executed
+  })
+  .catch(function(err) {
+    // handle error
+  });
+
+// quit if needed
+redis.quit('default');
+```
+
+## Options
+
+- `name` optional name, defaults to `default`. Use the same name to get
+  the same client instance or re-create it. Use a new name to create a
+  new instance.
+- `options` optional config for the Redis client. Has a default retry
+  strategy. See below for details. For info about the Redis client
+  options, see https://www.npmjs.com/package/redis.
+
+## Default retry strategy
+
+```javascript
+function retry_strategy(options) {
+  if (options.error.code === 'ECONNREFUSED') {
+    return new Error('Connection refused by server.');
+  }
+
+  if (options.total_retry_time > 1000 * 60 * 60) {
+    return new Error('Retry time exhausted');
+  }
+
+  if (options.times_connected > 10) {
+    return undefined;
+  }
+
+  return Math.max(options.attempt * 100, 3000);
+}
+```
