EM-REDIS ↑

DESCRIPTION: ↑

An EventMachine based library for interacting with the very cool Redis data store by Salvatore ‘antirez’ Sanfilippo. Modeled after eventmachine’s implementation of the memcached protocol, and influenced by Ezra Zygmuntowicz’s redis-rb library (distributed as part of Redis).

This library is only useful when used as part of an application that relies on Event Machine’s event loop. It implements an EM-based client protocol, which leverages the non-blocking nature of the EM interface to achieve significant parallelization without threads.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS: ↑

Implements most Redis commands (see the list of available commands here with the notable exception of MONITOR.

SYNOPSIS: ↑

Like any Deferrable eventmachine-based protocol implementation, using EM-Redis involves making calls and passing blocks that serve as callbacks when the call returns.

require 'em-redis'

EM.run do
  redis = EM::Protocols::Redis.connect
  redis.errback do |code|
    puts "Error code: #{code}"
  end
  redis.set "a", "foo" do |response|
    redis.get "a" do |response|
      puts response
    end
  end
  # We get pipelining for free
  redis.set("b", "bar")
  redis.get("a") do |response|
    puts response # will be foo
  end
end

To run tests on a Redis server (currently compatible with 1.3)

rake

Because the EM::Protocol::Memcached code used Bacon for testing, test code is currently in the form of bacon specs.

REQUIREMENTS: ↑
