SimRedis is NOT READY FOR ANY SORT OF SERIOUS USE YET! Currently all of the generic and string methods are working OK, except for anything involving expiration or blocking.
SimRedis is a Redis simulator for the popular redis-rb library. SimRedis lets you use the Redis Ruby client library without a Redis daemon running. Everything is stored in memory only and is very thread unsafe, but persistence and locking comes in time.
Why simulate Redis? I love Redis and some of the ideas it brings to the table, and while I can roll out onto servers stocked with working Redis installs OK, sometimes I might want to still use Redis in my app but not require its full power (or I might want to deploy somewhere that doesn’t have Redis - like Dreamhost, say). I’d also like to distribute apps I make so that other people can use them without being forced to install a whole new daemon first.
require 'redis' require 'simredis' r = Redis.new r.set("a", "hello world") r.get("a") # => "hello world" r.keys("*") # => ['a'] r.flushdb r.keys("*") # => []
SimRedis comes with tests (of a sort) “baked in.” Running the simredis.rb file directly runs the suite.
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with Rakefile, version, or history as it’s handled by Jeweler (which is awesome, btw).
-
Send me a pull request. I may or may not accept it (sorry, practicality rules.. but message me and we can talk!)
