Make Basic example from the README runnable in CommonJS environment

uglide commented 1 year ago

The basic example in the README makes many assumptions about user environment and skills like a proper type field set in the closest package.json, or the user has copy-pasted the example to a file with .mjs extension.

In most cases, users will face the following problems:

(node:59910) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions and the top level bodies of modules
No clear output is made, so it's hard to determine whether the example was executed successfully or not

Environment:

Node.js Version: v19 or any
Redis Server Version: Any
Node Redis Version: Any
Platform: Any
