Redisent
========

[](#redisent)

Redisent is a simple, no-nonsense interface to the [Redis](http://redis.io) data structure store for modest developers. It is designed to flexible and tolerant of changes to the Redis protocol.

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

If you're at all familiar with the Redis protocol and PHP objects, you've already mastered Redisent. Redisent translates method calls to their [Redis protocol](http://redis.io/topics/protocol) equivalent, abstracting away the nitty-gritty, and then makes the return values PHP compatible.

Features
--------

[](#features)

### Shared Redis API

[](#shared-redis-api)

The Redisent method names map directly to their Redis command counterparts. The full list is available in the [command reference](http://redis.io/commands).

#### Setting Keys

[](#setting-keys)

```
$redis->set('foo', 'bar')
// SET foo bar
```

#### Working with lists

[](#working-with-lists)

```
$redis->lpush('particles', 'electron')
// LPUSH particles electron
$redis->lpush('particles', 'proton')
// LPUSH particles proton
$redis->lpush('particles', 'neutron')
// LPUSH particles neutron
$redis->llen('particles')
// LLEN particles
```

### Pipelining

[](#pipelining)

Redisent provides a fluent interface for [pipelining](http://redis.io/topics/pipelining) commands to Redis.

```
$redis->pipeline()
  ->set('X', 2)
  ->incr('X')
  ->incr('X')
  ->uncork(); // #=> array containing the responses of each command
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

Redisent has no dependencies aside from requiring PHP versions 5.3 and later. To add it to your project, simply drop the Redis.php file into your project structure, instantiate a Redis instance, and start issuing commands.

```
require_once 'redisent/Redis.php';
$redis = new redisent\Redis('redis://localhost');
$redis->set('awesome', 'absolutely');
echo "Is Redisent awesome? ", $redis->get('awesome'), "\n";
```

Any errors originating from Redis will be wrapped in a `resident\RedisException` and thrown.

Pipelining
----------

[](#pipelining-1)

Redisent supports a fluent interface for [pipelining](http://redis.io/topics/pipelining). A pipeline is started by calling the `pipeline` method on a `Redis` instance, using Redisent as usual, and then calling the `uncork` method. The `uncork` method returns an array of the responses of the pipelined commands.

### Example

[](#example)

```
$redis = new Redisent\Redis();
$responses = $redis->pipeline()
    ->incr('X')
    ->incr('X')
    ->incr('X')
    ->incr('X')
    ->uncork();
print_r($responses);
```

If the key X didn't exist, the first INCR would create it and return 1, and successive calls would increment it by 1. The return value of the call to `uncork()` would be `array(1,2,3,4)`, the responses of each INCR command.

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

Pull requests please! Feature/topic branches are especially appreciated. Unit tests are written with [SimpleTest](http://simpletest.org/), please include tests in your pull request. To run tests, run `sh setup.sh` script to get set up and then `php tests/all_tests.php` to run the suite.

Roadmap
-------

[](#roadmap)

Redis has grown to be very feature rich, and Redisent is lagging behind.

- Publish/subscribe
- Transactions
