mruby bindings for https://github.com/redis/hiredis

Connect to the default redis-server

hiredis = Hiredis.new

Connect to a tcp redis-server

hiredis = Hiredis.new("localhost", 6379) #if you leave the port out it defaults to 6379

Connect to a unix redis-server

hiredis = Hiredis.new("/tmp/redis.sock", -1) #set port to -1 so it connects to a unix socket

All Redis Commands are mapped to Ruby Methods, this happens automatically when you connect the first time to a Server.

hiredis["foo"] = "bar"
hiredis["foo"]
hiredis.incr("bar")

If you later on want to add more shortcut methods, because the first Server you connected to is of a lower version than the others, you can call

Hiredis.create_shortcuts(hiredis)

Pipelining

hiredis.queue(:set, "foo", "bar")
hiredis.queue(:get, "foo")
hiredis.bulk_reply

Transactions

hiredis.transaction([:incr, "bar"], [:get, "foo"])

Subscriptions

hiredis.subscribe('channel')

loop do
  puts hiredis.reply
end

async = Hiredis::Async.new #(callbacks = Hiredis::Async::Callbacks.new, evloop = RedisAe.new, host_or_path = "localhost", port = 6379)
async.evloop.run_once
async.queue(:set, "foo", "bar")
async.evloop.run_once
async.queue(:get, "foo") {|reply| puts reply}
async.evloop.run_once

https://github.com/antirez/disque made it mandatory to change the way mruby-hiredis handles status replies, they have been symbols in the past, but are Strings now. This brakes pipelining and transactions for existing applications. Because of that the major version got incremented.

When you get a reply back, you have to check if it is a "Hiredis::ReplyError", this was done so pipelined transactions can complete even if there are errors.
