Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Redis Client

Redis http://redis.io/ is a service that provides different types of memory based data structures such as queues and hashes.

Description

This egg is an implementation of the Redis protocol and a collection of wrapper procedures for Redis server commands.

Authors

Carl

Requirements

This depends on the socket egg.

To run the tests, you will need a local running Redis service.

API

[procedure] (redis-connect hostname port)

Connect to the Redis server.

[parameter] (*redis-in-port*)

The above parameter is an input port for the socket that is connected to the redis service. This parameter is set by the redis-connect procedure.

[parameter] (*redis-out-port*)

The above parameter is an output port for the socket that is connect to the redis service. This parameter is set by the redis-connect procedure.

[procedure] (redis-read-response port)

Read a response from the redis service and return it as a list. This is useful when a command response from redis may not be immediate, for example the BRPOP or the SUBSCRIBE command.

[procedure] (redis-write-command port command args)

Send a command to the redis service. Generally, instead use the command wrapper procedures.

[procedure] (redis-publish channel-name message)

Publish a message on a channel.

[procedure] (redis-ping)

Ping redis. An immediate pong response should be returned.

For a full list of Redis commands, visit http://redis.io/commands.

Examples

This simple example "Hello, World!" example will connect to a local Redis server and publish a message on a channel. Before running it, subscribe to the channel using the Redis command line interface tool, redis-cli subscribe "HelloChannel".

 (use redis-client)
 (pp (redis-connect "127.0.0.1" 6379))
 (pp (redis-publish "HelloChannel" "Hello, World!"))

The example below, demonstrates implementing your own message subscriber. It could be used to receive the "Hello, World" message published above, e.g. csi -s subscriber.scm HelloChannel.

 ; Usage:
 ;   csi -s subscriber.scm my-channel-name
 (use srfi-1 redis-client)
 (redis-connect "127.0.0.1" 6379)
 (redis-subscribe (last (command-line-arguments)))
 (define (run-loop thunk)
   (let ((response (redis-read-response (*redis-in-port*))))
      (thunk response))
   (run-loop thunk))
 (run-loop
   (lambda(r)
     (printf "->~S~%" r)))

Here's an example of using the LPUSH and RPOP commands.

 (use redis-client)
 (pp (redis-connect "127.0.0.1" 6379))
 (pp (redis-lpush "test-queue" "Hello!"))
 (pp (redis-rpop  "test-queue"))
