redstruct

Redstruct

Provides higher level data structures in Ruby using standard Redis commands. Also provides basic object mapping for pre-existing types.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'redstruct'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install redstruct

Usage

TODO: Write usage instructions here

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Note

Avoid using transactions; the Redis documentation suggests using Lua scripts where possible, as in most cases they will be faster than transactions. Use the Redstruct::Utils::Scriptable module and the defscript macro instead.

TODO

• Implement factory
• Implement counter
• Implement lock (blocking/non-blocking)
• Implement string
• Implement hash
• Implement set
• Implement list
• Implement script
• Implement sorted set
• Design/discuss stored factory meta-data (i.e. keep track of created objects, clear said objects, etc.)
• Implement collections to leverage redis commands such as mget, mset, etc.
• Implement value transformers (read and write) to make reusing types with specially encoded objects easy
