Awesome is a Redis clone in node.js
WORK IN PROGRESS
At this point, Awesome has all the plumbing in place to implement all of Redis' commands. It comes with a bunch of commands to show you how to add your own. But it does not yet implement all that is needed to be a grown up Redis. I hope you can pitch in and add your favourite Redis commands :)
What?
Awesome aims to be a drop-in replacement for Redis in a node.js environment. Awesome doesn't claim to better, faster, smaller, whatever.
If nothing else, this code helps me understand Redis and node.js. I hope it helps others to learn either or both, too.
Run Awesome
$ node awesome.js
...bunch of debugging crap...
On another terminal
$ telnet localhost 6379
SET a 3
foo
+OK
GET a
$3
foo
QUIT
Yay!
Run Tests
We're lazy, just run the Redis test suite:
$ cd ../redis
$ make test
...will hang somwhere since Awesome doesn't support all commands yet.
