Example

import redis from 'k6/x/redis';

const client = redis.newClient();

export function setup() {
  redis.set(client,"snake","camel",0)
  redis.set(client,"foo",100,10)
}

export default function () {
  console.log(redis.get(client,"snake"))
  console.log(redis.get(client,"foo"))
  if (redis.do(client,"PING","bzzz") == "bzzz"){
    console.log("PONG!")
  }
}
