Some examples of how redis might be used. Meant to help demonstrate what redis is and how to use it.
There are currently 3 examples here that can be used, cacher, queuer, and messenger. You can get each of these with go get github.com/brnsampson/redis_examples/cacher, etc.
CACHER: A simple web application that presets a get and set endpoint. Configure as follows.
In Linux: $> REDIS_ADDR=
$> CACHE_ADDR=<address to serve on. Usually ':8080' is good> $> go build src/github.com/brnsampson/redis_examples/cacher $> ./cacher.exe (or whatever extension it has)Windows is similar, but in powershell environment variables are defined with slightly different syntax: $env:REDIS_ADDR = "
"To query:
Adding a key: curl -XPUT 127.0.0.1:8080/set -d '{"animal": "cat"}'
retrieveing a key: curl 127.0.0.1:8080/get?key=animal
QUEUER: A simple web application that presets a push and pop endpoint. Configure as follows.
In Linux: $> REDIS_ADDR=
$> QUEUE_ADDR=<address to serve on. Usually ':8080' is good> $> QUEUE_NAME= $> go build src/github.com/brnsampson/redis_examples/queuer $> ./queuer.exe (or whatever extension it has)Windows is similar, but in powershell environment variables are defined with slightly different syntax: $env:REDIS_ADDR = "
"To query:
Pushing a value: curl -XPUT 127.0.0.1:8080/push -d '["dog", "cat", "frog"]'
Popping a value: curl 127.0.0.1:8080/pop
MESSENGER: For this one you want to run it in multiple terminals. When you type something into stdin on one terminal and hit enter it will appear on all terminals connected.
Config (Linux): ON EACH TERMINAL do the following $> REDIS_ADDR=
$> USER_NAME= $> CHANNEL_NAME=<common channel name. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it is the same for every terminal.> $> go build src/github.com/brnsampson/redis_examples/messenger $> ./messenger.exe (or whatever extension it has)Windows is similar, but in powershell environment variables are defined with slightly different syntax: $env:REDIS_ADDR = "
