GRedis

This is a work in progress to get a simple Redis client working in Vala, using hiredis natively in the background. Should work very well in Vala or Genie, or anything else that consumes GLib, but I doubt it makes much sense in languages that are not Vala or Genie.

Questions or comments, feel free to email, file an issue, or find me in #vala.

Building/Installing on Linux/FreeBSD/*nix/WSL

Install requirements
- Vala 0.30 or higher
- glib 2.32 or higher
- gee-0.8
- libhiredis + libhiredis-dev (tested on 0.13+)
- A server running Redis 3.2 or higher
Clone or download the repository
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make && sudo make install

Basic Usage

public static int main(string[] args) {
    try {
        var con = new GRedis.Connection("127.0.0.1", 6379);
        if ( con.set("foo", "bar") ) {
            var value = con.get("foo");
            stdout.printf("foo is '%s'\n", value);
            con.del("foo");
        }
        if ( con.hset("foo", "baz", "bar") == GRedis.FieldStatus.SUCCESS_VALUE_SET ) {
            var value = con.hget("foo", "baz");
            stdout.printf("foo:baz is '%s'\n", value);
            con.hdel("foo", "baz");
        }
    } catch (Error e) {
        stderr.printf("Oh noes, %s\n", e.message);
    }
    return 0;
}

What works?

A working, complete VAPI for libhiredis
A library that compiles that provides a slightly more sane wrapper that looks like other Redis libraries
- Supports Single operations (set, get, ...)
- Supports Hash operations (hset, hget, ...)
- Supports List operations (lindex, lpush, rpop, ...)
Live unit tests

What is still in progress?

Geo operations
Bit operations
Config operations
Sorted set operations
Any other operations
Async functionality (in the vapi, not in gredis)
Mock unit tests

What isn't happening any time soon?
