Memory

An in-memory state adapter for development and testing. Zero configuration required.

Only use the memory adapter for local development and testing. State is lost on restart and locks don't work across multiple instances. For production, use Redis or ioredis.

Installation

Terminal

pnpm add @chat-adapter/state-memory

Usage

lib/bot.ts

import { Chat } from "chat";
import { createMemoryState } from "@chat-adapter/state-memory";

const bot = new Chat({
  userName: "mybot",
  adapters: { /* ... */ },
  state: createMemoryState(),
});

No configuration options are needed.

Features
