Redis Store Jr.

This is a vastly simplified version of RedisStore.

Most of the code was lifted directly from an earlier version of Luca Guidi’s redis-store gem. It does not support Sinatra, Merb, or many of the other options that his Gem does. So if you’re looking for that stuff, you probably want to take a look at the [the original project](github.com/jodosha/redis-store).

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a super-simple Redis store interface that works reliably with Rails and Redis 1.2, without the complicated (and often unnecessary) dependencies, look no further.

Installation

We assume you already have [Redis](code.google.com/p/redis/) set up and running. If not, you know what to do.

In your environment.rb:

config.gem 'redis_store_jr', :lib => 'redis_store'

Or your Gemfile:

gem 'redis_store_jr', :require => 'redis_store'

In your production (or staging) environment config:

require 'redis_store'
config.cache_store = :redis_store, 'localhost:6379'

This has only been tested on Rails 2.3.x. No guarantees about Rails 3.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
