Readme

Redis client for Golang.

Supports:

• Redis 2.6 commands except QUIT, MONITOR, SLOWLOG and SYNC.
• Pub/sub.
• Transactions.
• Pipelining.
• Connection pool.
• TLS connections.
• Thread safety.

Installation

Install:

go get github.com/vmihailenco/redis

Getting Client instance

Example 1:

import "github.com/vmihailenco/redis"


address := "localhost:6379"
password := "secret"
db := 0
redisClient := redis.NewTCPClient(address, password, db)

Example 2:

import "github.com/vmihailenco/redis"


openConn := func() (net.Conn, error) {
    fmt.Println("Connecting...")
    return net.Dial("tcp", ":6379")
}

closeConn := func(conn net.Conn) error {
    fmt.Println("Disconnecting...")
    return nil
}

initConn := func(client *redis.Client) error {
     auth := client.Auth("key")
     if err := auth.Err(); err != nil {
         return err
     }

     ping := client.Ping()
     if err := ping.Err(); err != nil {
         return err
     }

     return nil
}

redisClient := redis.NewClient(openConn, closeConn, initConn)

Both closeConn and initConn functions can be nil.

Running commands

set := redisClient.Set("key", "hello")
if err := set.Err(); err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
ok := set.Val()

get := redisClient.Get("key")
if err := get.Err(); err != nil && err != redis.Nil {
    panic(err)
}
val := get.Val()

Pipelining

Client has ability to run commands in batches:

reqs, err := redisClient.Pipelined(func(c *redis.PipelineClient) {
    c.Set("key1", "hello1") // queue command SET
    c.Set("key2", "hello2") // queue command SET
})
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
for _, req := range reqs {
    // ...
}

Or:

pipeline, err := redisClient.PipelineClient()
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
defer pipeline.Close()

setReq := pipeline.Set("key1", "hello1") // queue command SET
getReq := pipeline.Get("key2") // queue command GET

reqs, err := pipeline.RunQueued() // run queued commands
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
for _, req := range reqs {
    // ...
}

if err := setReq.Err(); err != nil {
    panic(err
}

if err := getReq.Err(); err != nil && err != redis.Nil {
    panic(err)
}

Multi/Exec

Example:

func transaction(multi *redis.MultiClient) ([]redis.Req, error) {
    get := multiClient.Get("key")
    if err := get.Err(); err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    reqs, err = multiClient.Exec(func() {
        multi.Set("key", get.Val() + "1")
    })
    if err == redis.Nil {
        return transaction()
    }

    return reqs, err
}

multiClient, err := redisClient.MultiClient()
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
defer multiClient.Close()

watch := multiClient.Watch("key")
if err := watch.Err(); err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

reqs, err := transaction(multiClient)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
for _, req := range reqs {
    // ...
}

Pub/sub

Publish:

pub := redisClient.Publish("mychannel", "hello")
if err := pub.Err(); err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

Subscribe:

pubsub, err := redisClient.PubSubClient()
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
defer pubsub.Close()

ch, err := pubsub.Subscribe("mychannel")
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

go func() {
    for msg := range ch {
        if msg.Err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
        message := msg.Message
    }
}

Thread safety

Commands are thread safe. Following code is correct:

for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
    go func() {
        redisClient.Incr("key")
    }()
}

Custom commands

Example:

func Get(client *redis.Client, key string) *redis.BulkReq {
    req := redis.NewBulkReq("GET", key)
    client.Process(req)
    return req
}

get := Get(redisClient, "key")
if err := get.Err(); err != nil && err != redis.Nil {
    panic(err)
}

Connection pool

Client uses connection pool with default capacity of 10 connections. To change pool capacity:

redisClient.ConnPool.(*redis.MultiConnPool).MaxCap = 1

Look and feel

Some corner cases:

SORT list LIMIT 0 2 ASC
client.Sort("list", redis.Sort{Offset: 0, Count: 2, Order: "ASC"})

ZRANGEBYSCORE zset -inf +inf WITHSCORES LIMIT 0 2
client.ZRangeByScoreWithScores("zset", "-inf", "+inf", 0, 2)

ZINTERSTORE out 2 zset1 zset2 WEIGHTS 2 3 AGGREGATE SUM
client.ZInterStore("out", redis.ZStore{Weights: []int64{2, 3}}, "zset1", "zset2")

EVAL "return {KEYS[1],ARGV[1]}" 1 "key" "hello"
client.Eval("return {KEYS[1],ARGV[1]}", []string{"key"}, []string{"hello"})
