NAME
AnyEvent::Redis - Non-blocking Redis client
SYNOPSIS
use AnyEvent::Redis;
my $redis = AnyEvent::Redis->new(
host => '127.0.0.1',
port => 6379,
encoding => 'utf8',
on_error => sub { warn @_ },
);
# callback based
$redis->set( 'foo'=> 'bar', sub { warn "SET!" } );
$redis->get( 'foo', sub { my $value = shift } );
my ($key, $value) = ('list_key', 123);
$redis->lpush( $key, $value );
$redis->lpop( $key, sub { my $value = shift });
# condvar based
my $cv = $redis->lpop( $key );
$cv->cb(sub { my $value = $_[0]->recv });
DESCRIPTION
AnyEvent::Redis is a non-blocking (event-driven) Redis client.
This module is an AnyEvent user; you must install and use a supported
event loop.
ESTABLISHING A CONNECTION
To create a new connection, use the new() method with the following
attributes:
host => <HOSTNAME>
Required. The hostname or literal address of the server.
port => <PORT>
Optional. The server port.
encoding => <ENCODING>
Optional. Encode and decode data (when storing and retrieving,
respectively) according to *ENCODING* ("utf8" is recommended or see
Encode::Supported for details on possible *ENCODING* values).
Omit if you intend to handle raw binary data with this connection.
on_error => $cb->($errmsg)
Optional. Callback that will be fired if a connection or
database-level error occurs. The error message will be passed to the
callback as the sole argument.
METHODS
All methods supported by your version of Redis should be supported.
Normal commands
There are two alternative approaches for handling results from commands:
* AnyEvent::CondVar based:
my $cv = $redis->command(
# arguments to command
);
# Then...
my $res;
eval {
# Could die()
$res = $cv->recv;
};
warn $@ if $@;
# or...
$cv->cb(sub {
my($cv) = @_;
my($result, $err) = $cv->recv
});
* Callback:
$redis->command(
# arguments,
sub {
my($result, $err) = @_;
});
(Callback is a wrapper around the $cv approach.)
Subscriptions
The subscription methods ("subscribe" and "psubscribe") must be used
with a callback:
my $cv = $redis->subscribe("test", sub {
my($message, $channel[, $actual_channel]) = @_;
# ($actual_channel is provided for pattern subscriptions.)
});
The $cv condition will be met on unsubscribing from the channel.
Due to limitations of the Redis protocol the only valid commands on a
connection with an active subscription are subscribe and unsubscribe
commands.
Common methods
* get
* set
* hset
* hget
* lpush
* lpop
The Redis command reference (<
http://redis.io/commands>) lists all
commands Redis supports.
REQUIREMENTS
This requires Redis >= 1.2.
