ledis

An LFE Redis Client Library

Dependences

You will need the following installed on your system:

• Erlang
• Redis
• rebar

Additionally, the ledis Makefile sets up the following dependencies for you automatically when you run the compile target:

• LFE
• eredis
• ltest

Installtion and Setup

Here's what you need to do:

$ git clone https://github.com/lfex/ledis.git
$ cd ledis
$ make compile

At this point, you will be able to run an LFE REPL (shell):

$ make repl

Usage

To use ledis from the shell, just do this:

$ make repl-no-deps

Erlang R15B03 (erts-5.9.3) [source] [smp:8:8] ...

LFE Shell V5.9.3 (abort with ^G)
>

> (ledis:start-link)
true
> (ledis:get 'foo)
#(ok undefined)
> (ledis:set 'foo 'bar)
#(ok #B(79 75))
> (ledis:get 'foo)
#(ok #B(118 97 108 117 101))

You may also provide an option to convert all results to string values:

> (ledis:set 'foo 'bar '(#(return-type string)))
#(ok "OK")
> (ledis:get 'foo '(#(return-type string)))
#(ok "bar")

If you would like to receive string values by default, simply update either your project's lfe.config or your ~/.lfe/lfe.config file with the following:

#(ledis
  (#(client-process-name ledis-client)
   #(return-type string)))
