A Redis connection adapter for CakePHP
======================================

[](#a-redis-connection-adapter-for-cakephp)

This library makes it possible to create connections for any Redis database that can be created and managed with CakePHP's `ConnectionManager`.

Redis is a great Key-Value database with excelent performance. It also offers several unique features for working with large lists, hashmaps and even pub-sub systems.

Connecting to the redis database
--------------------------------

[](#connecting-to-the-redis-database)

This library assumes that you either have installed `phpredis` or `predis`. We recommend installing `phpredis`

- [PhpRedis](https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis) (recommended)
- [Predis](https://github.com/nrk/predis)

### Configuring it in in your app.php file in

[](#configuring-it-in-in-your-appphp-file-in)

Just add any new named configuration under the `Datasources` key

```
    'Datasources' => [
        ...
        'redis' => [
            'className' => 'Cake\Redis\RedisConnection',
            'driver' => 'phpredis', // Can also use a full class name or 'predis'
            'log' => false, // Log executed commands
            'host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'port' => 6379,
            'timeout' => [optional],
            'reconnectionDelay' => [optional],
            'persistentId' => [optional],
            'database' => [optional],
            'options' => [], // extra options for the driver
        ]
    ]
```

### Using ConnectionManager

[](#using-connectionmanager)

You can also create new redis connections with the `ConnectionManger`

```
use Cake\Datasource\ConnectionManager;

ConnectionManager::config('redis', [
    'className' => 'Cake\Redis\RedisConnection',
    'driver' => 'Cake\Redis\Driver\PHPRedisDriver',
    'log' => false, // Log executed commands
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'port' => 6379,
    'timeout' => [optional],
    'reconnectionDelay' => [optional],
    'persistentId' => [optional],
    'database' => [optional],
    'options' => [], // extra options for the driver
]);
```

Executing commands in Redis
---------------------------

[](#executing-commands-in-redis)

You need to get a hold of the connection and the execute commands:

```
$redis = ConnectionManager::get('redis');
$redis->set('cakephp', 'awesome');
echo $redis->get('cakephp'); // Returns 'awesome'
```

Make sure you take a look at all the commands you can run in the [PHPRedis Readme](https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/blob/develop/README.markdown).

Executing a list of commands in a transaction
---------------------------------------------

[](#executing-a-list-of-commands-in-a-transaction)

```
$redis = ConnectionManager::get('redis');
$redis->transactional(function ($client) {
    $client
        ->set('cakephp', 'awesome')
        ->set('another_key', 'value')
});
```

The client instance the closure gets will buffer all the commands and execute them atomically at the end of the chain.

This method uses the `multi()` command internally.
