redis.go

redis.go is a client for the redis key-value store.

Some features include:

• Designed for Redis 2.6.x.
• Support for all redis types - strings, lists, sets, sorted sets, and hashes
• Very simple usage
• Connection pooling ( with configurable size )
• Support for concurrent access
• Manages connections to the redis server, including dropped and timed out connections
• Marshaling/Unmarshaling go types to hashes

This library is stable and is used in production environments. However, some commands have not been tested as thoroughly as others. If you find any bugs please file an issue!

Installation

Just run go get github.com/hoisie/redis

Examples

Most of the examples connect to a redis database running in the default port -- 6379.

Hello World example

package main

import "github.com/hoisie/redis"

func main() {
    var client redis.Client
    var key = "hello"
    client.Set(key, []byte("world"))
    val, _ := client.Get("hello")
    println(key, string(val))
}

Strings

var client redis.Client
client.Set("a", []byte("hello"))
val, _ := client.Get("a")
println(string(val))
client.Del("a")

Lists

var client redis.Client
vals := []string{"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}
for _, v := range vals {
    client.Rpush("l", []byte(v))
}
dbvals,_ := client.Lrange("l", 0, 4)
for i, v := range dbvals {
    println(i,":",string(v))
}
client.Del("l")

Publish/Subscribe

sub := make(chan string, 1)
sub <- "foo"
messages := make(chan Message, 0)
go client.Subscribe(sub, nil, nil, nil, messages)

time.Sleep(10 * 1000 * 1000)
client.Publish("foo", []byte("bar"))

msg := <-messages
println("received from:", msg.Channel, " message:", string(msg.Message))

close(sub)
close(messages)
