Local implementation of redis protocol. The storage in entirely put in the memory and will be lost
when the app/program is quitting.
This implementation usually used for integration testing without having
to run actual redis server as this is easy to run and close as the test starts and ends.
It's main usage why re-invented the wheel is for ease of mock testing without having fully-blown redis server installation. Mostly the usage can be summarized as below example:
package testing
import (
"APP-ROOT/app"
"testing"
"os"
"github.com/mashingan/localredis"
)
func checkAppStates(t *testing.T, app.App) {
// implementation
}
func TestOurApp(t *testing.T) {
redisAddr := ":8099"
os.Setenv("REDIS_ADDR", redisAddr)
go localredis.ListenAndServe(redisAddr)
apprun := app.Start()
checkAppStates(t, apprun)
localredis.Close()
}Above example taking assumption that the app would connect to redis from REDIS_ADDR environment variable value.
So instead of connecting to actual redis server, the app connect to our in memory redis.
Currently, it's in alpha-state with only basic set, get and ping handler implemented.
Using go modules, simply importing the path github.com/mashingan/localredis
will automatically put it on go.mod dependencies entry.
Adding supports for the new command by adding it to commandMap.
