API docs: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-redis/redis/v8?tab=doc. Examples: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-redis/redis/v8?tab=doc#pkg-examples. ## Installation go-redis requires a Go version with [Modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) support and uses import versioning. So please make sure to initialize a Go module before installing go-redis: ```shell go mod init github.com/my/repo go get github.com/go-redis/redis/v8 ``` Import: ```go import "github.com/go-redis/redis/v8" ``` ## Quickstart ```go import ( "context" "github.com/go-redis/redis/v8" ) var ctx = context.Background() func ExampleNewClient() { rdb := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{ Addr: "localhost:6379", Password: "", // no password set DB: 0, // use default DB }) pong, err := rdb.Ping(ctx).Result() fmt.Println(pong, err) // Output: PONG <nil> } func ExampleClient() { rdb := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{ Addr: "localhost:6379", Password: "", // no password set DB: 0, // use default DB }) err := rdb.Set(ctx, "key", "value", 0).Err() if err != nil { panic(err) } val, err := rdb.Get(ctx, "key").Result() if err != nil { panic(err) } fmt.Println("key", val) val2, err := rdb.Get(ctx, "key2").Result() if err == redis.Nil { fmt.Println("key2 does not exist") } else if err != nil { panic(err) } else { fmt.Println("key2", val2) } // Output: key value // key2 does not exist } ``` ## Howto Please go through [examples](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-redis/redis/v8?tab=doc#pkg-examples) to get an idea how to use this package. ## Look and feel Some corner cases: ```go // SET key value EX 10 NX set, err := rdb.SetNX(ctx, "key", "value", 10*time.Second).Result() // SET key value keepttl NX set, err := rdb.SetNX(ctx, "key", "value", redis.KeepTTL).Result() // SORT list LIMIT 0 2 ASC vals, err := rdb.Sort(ctx, "list", &redis.Sort{Offset: 0, Count: 2, Order: "ASC"}).Result() // ZRANGEBYSCORE zset -inf +inf WITHSCORES LIMIT 0 2 vals, err := rdb.ZRangeByScoreWithScores(ctx, "zset", &redis.ZRangeBy{ Min: "-inf", Max: "+inf", Offset: 0, Count: 2, }).Result() // ZINTERSTORE out 2 zset1 zset2 WEIGHTS 2 3 AGGREGATE SUM vals, err := rdb.ZInterStore(ctx, "out", &redis.ZStore{ Keys: []string{"zset1", "zset2"}, Weights: []int64{2, 3} }).Result() // EVAL "return {KEYS[1],ARGV[1]}" 1 "key" "hello" vals, err := rdb.Eval(ctx, "return {KEYS[1],ARGV[1]}", []string{"key"}, "hello").Result() // custom command res, err := rdb.Do(ctx, "set", "key", "value").Result() ``` ## See also - [Fast and flexible HTTP router](https://github.com/vmihailenco/treemux) - [Golang PostgreSQL ORM](https://github.com/go-pg/pg) - [Golang msgpack](https://github.com/vmihailenco/msgpack) - [Golang message task queue](https://github.com/vmihailenco/taskq)
