Description

[](#description)

Enhancements to redis driver, such as enabling a serializer and/or compression

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require vemcogroup/laravel-redis
```

Remember to have redis installed with serializer and compression.
Answer yes to serializer and compression.

```
pecl upgrade -f redis
```

If you are missing igbinary

```
pecl install igbinary
```

If you are missing libzstd

```
brew install zstd
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Start by selection the new driver `vredis` in you `.env` file:

```
REDIS_CLIENT=vredis
```

*Compression*

To use compression you have to set the type in `database.php` for your redis connection:

```
'default' => [
    'url' => env('REDIS_URL'),
    'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
    'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
    'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', '6379'),
    'database' => env('REDIS_DB', '0'),
    'options' => [
        'compression' => Redis::COMPRESSION_NONE,
    ],
],
```

You can use any of the Redis compressions available from you installation:
`Redis::COMPRESSION_NONE`, `Redis::COMPRESSION_ZSTD`, `Redis::COMPRESSION_LZ4`

*Serializer*

To use serialization you have to set the type in `database.php` for your redis connection:

```
'default' => [
    'url' => env('REDIS_URL'),
    'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
    'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
    'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', '6379'),
    'database' => env('REDIS_DB', '0'),
    'options' => [
        'serializer' => Redis::SERIALIZER_NONE,
    ],
],
```

You can use any of the Redis serializers available from you installation:
`Redis::SERIALIZER_NONE`, `Redis::SERIALIZER_PHP`, `Redis::SERIALIZER_IGBINARY`, `Redis::SERIALIZER_MSGPACK`, `Redis::SERIALIZER_JSON`
