Node.js Redis client doesn't have Redis commands

Question

I have a trouble with redis package. There's in it's docs:

This library is a 1 to 1 mapping of the Redis commands.

But I can not access Redis commands through this lib's client.

I'm creating a client like this:

const client = createClient({
  socket: {
    host: process.env.REDIS_HOST,
    port: +process.env.REDIS_PORT!,
    password: process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD
  }
});

createClient is imported this way: import { createClient } from 'redis';

And when I try to call any Redis command on this client, e.g.:

client.rpush('key', 'value');

I get an error: this.client.rpush is not a function

And console.log(Object.keys(client)); output is:

[
  '_events',
  '_eventsCount',
  '_maxListeners',
  'select',
  'subscribe',
  'pSubscribe',
  'unsubscribe',
  'pUnsubscribe',
  'quit'
]

Am I doing something wrong? And how can I fix it?

As per the Redis Commands section in the README file,

There is built-in support for all of the out-of-the-box Redis commands. They are exposed using the raw Redis command names (HSET, HGETALL, etc.) and a friendlier camel-cased version (hSet, hGetAll, etc.):

So, use the rpush command as client.RPUSH('key', 'value'); or client.rPush('key', 'value');
