Problem

The current peerOptionalDependencies entry for redis in TypeORM v0.3.23 is:

"redis": "^3.1.1 || ^4.0.0"

This blocks installation with redis@5.x under strict npm resolution (e.g. npm v7+), even though Redis is only required when using TypeORM's cache feature.

Why this matters

Many users rely on redis@5.x directly (e.g. for Streams, Pub/Sub, etc.) and don't use TypeORM's Redis integration at all. Still, installation fails unless using --legacy-peer-deps.

This restriction creates unnecessary friction for setups where TypeORM and Redis are both used — independently.

Suggested fix

Relax the peerOptional range in package.json:

"redis": "^3.1.1 || ^4.0.0 || ^5.0.0"

Or ideally:

"redis": "*"

...since it's an optional peer and not a hard requirement.

Environment

• typeorm: 0.3.23
• redis: 5.5.6
• node: 22.x
• npm: 10.x
