Overview

Class representing a Redis counter. This functions like a proxy class, in that you can say @object.counter_name to get the value and then directly, or you can use the counter :foo class method in your class to define a counter.

Instance Method Details

#decrbyfloat(by = 1.0, &block) ⇒ Object

Decrement a floating point counter atomically. Redis uses separate API’s to interact with integers vs floats.

# File 'lib/redis/counter.rb', line 106

def decrbyfloat(by=1.0, &block)
  allow_expiration do
    val = redis.incrbyfloat(key, -by).to_f
    block_given? ? rewindable_block(:incrbyfloat, -by, val, &block) : val
  end
end

#decrement(by = 1, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: decr, decrby

Decrement the counter atomically and return the new value. If passed a block, that block will be evaluated with the new value of the counter as an argument. If the block returns nil or throws an exception, the counter will automatically be incremented to its previous value. This method is aliased as decr() for brevity.

def decrement(by=1, &block)
  allow_expiration do
    val = redis.decrby(key, by).to_i
    block_given? ? rewindable_block(:increment, by, val, &block) : val
  end
end

#getset(to = ) ⇒ Object

Reset the counter to its starting value, and return previous value. Use this to “reap” the counter and save it somewhere else. This is atomic in that no increments or decrements are lost if you process the returned value.

# File 'lib/redis/counter.rb', line 38

def getset(to=options[:start])
  redis.getset(key, to.to_i).to_i
end

#incrbyfloat(by = 1.0, &block) ⇒ Object

Increment a floating point counter atomically. Redis uses separate API’s to interact with integers vs floats.

    block_given? ? rewindable_block(:decrbyfloat, by, val, &block) : val
  end
end

#increment(by = 1, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: incr, incrby

Increment the counter atomically and return the new value. If passed a block, that block will be evaluated with the new value of the counter as an argument. If the block returns nil or throws an exception, the counter will automatically be decremented to its previous value. This method is aliased as incr() for brevity.

  end
end

Math ops This needs to handle +/- either actual integers or other Redis::Counters

#nil? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def nil?
  !redis.exists(key)
end

#reset(to = ) ⇒ Object

Reset the counter to its starting value. Not atomic, so use with care. Normally only useful if you’re discarding all sub-records associated with a parent and starting over (for example, restarting a game and disconnecting all players).

def reset(to=options[:start])
  allow_expiration do
    redis.set key, to.to_i
    true  # hack for redis-rb regression
  end
end

#to_f ⇒ Object

Like .value but casts to float since Redis addresses these differently.

# File 'lib/redis/counter.rb', line 63

def to_f
  redis.get(key).to_f
end

#to_s ⇒ Object

Proxy methods to help make @object.counter == 10 work



115
 
# File 'lib/redis/counter.rb', line 115

def to_s; value.to_s; end

#value ⇒ Object Also known as: get, to_i

Returns the current value of the counter. Normally just calling the counter will lazily fetch the value, and only update it if increment or decrement is called. This forces a network call to redis-server to get the current value.
