Connection and Command

Connections

Gore only supports TCP connection for Redis. The connection is thread-safe and can be auto-repaired with or without sentinel.

conn, err := gore.Dial("localhost:6379")
if err != nil {
    return
}
defer conn.Close()

Command

Redis command is built with NewCommand

gore.NewCommand("SET", "kirisame", "marisa") // SET kirisame marisa
gore.NewCommand("ZADD", "magician", 1337, "alice") // ZADD magician 1337 alice
gore.NewCommand("HSET", "sdm", "sakuya", 99) // HSET smd sakuya 99

In the last command, the value stored by redis will be the string "99", not the integer 99.

• Integer and float values are converted to string using strconv
• Boolean values are convert to "1" and "0"
• Nil values are stored as zero length string
• Other types are converted to string using standard fmt.Sprint

To efficiently store integer, you can use gore.FixInt or gore.VarInt

Compact integer

Gore supports compacting integer to reduce memory used by redis. There are 2 ways of compacting integer:

• gore.FixInt stores an integer as a fixed 8 bytes []byte.
• gore.VarInt encodes an integer with variable length []byte.

gore.NewCommand("SET", "fixint", gore.FixInt(1337)) // Set fixint as an 8 bytes []byte
gore.NewCommand("SET", "varint", gore.VarInt(1337)) // varint only takes 3 bytes
