redisConnection must be exported variable

[dragtor]

rmq.OpenConnection method returns *redisConnection . Thus, If we want to persist variable in any other struct it is not allowing.
Consider following example :

type RedisQueueDB struct {
	Tag      string
	Network  string
	Address  string
	Queue    string
	DB       int
	DataChan chan Action
	RedisConn *rmq.redisConnection
}

So I want to initialize redisConnection only once and want to reuse same connection through my RedisQueueDB.RedisConn object.

but , it is giving error as below :
redisConnection not exported by package rmq

Made change in repo accordingly . please review

Have you tried just using rmq.Connection? So in your example it would be:

type RedisQueueDB struct {
	Tag      string
	Network  string
	Address  string
	Queue    string
	DB       int
	DataChan chan Action
	RedisConn rmq.Connection
}

@wellle I am using below method and storing output to have single connection

connection := rmq.OpenConnection("my service", "tcp", "localhost:6379", 1)

but it's return type is *rmq.redisConnection , which is unexported.

[wellle]

Yes, but rmq.redisConnection can be assigned to a variable of type rmq.Connection, as the *rmq.redisConnection type implements the rmq.Connection interface. And the interface should be enough for your needs.

Yeh.. I missed that one. Thanks
