RedisUtil

An aggregation of redis utility code, including:

• A factory which allows you to define redis connections in a config file, and keeps track of them for reconnecting in forks
• Test helpers

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'redis_util'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install redis_util

Then setup a config file in config/redis.yml that could look like:

common: &common
  host: localhost
  port: 6379
  thread_safe: true

development:
  resque:
    <<: *common
    db: 0
  redis_objects:
    <<: *common
    db: 1

test:
  resque:
    <<: *common
    db: 10
  redis_objects:
    <<: *common
    db: 11

If not running in rails, an additional step is needed to set the config_file and env:

RedisUtil::Factory.config_file = "#{root}/config/redis.yml"
RedisUtil::Factory.env = "development"

Usage

redis = RedisUtil::Factory.connect(:foo)
redis.keys('*')
