Plugin download

o11nplugin-redis.vmoapp

Supported platform version

The Redis plug-in supports vRO 8.4.2 and later.

Building the plug-in

First, you need to install the vRO Plug-in SDK version 8.4.2 because the project depends on it. After that the plug-in can be built using standard Maven commands:

mvn clean install

This will result in vmoapp and dar files in the o11nplugin-redis/target folder.

Sample scripting

Basic operations

//Store a simple key-value in redis
var statusCode = connection.defaultDatabase.set("test-key", "test-value");
//Retrieve value
var value = connection.defaultDatabase.get("test-key");

Scripting

var script = "return {KEYS[1],KEYS[2],ARGV[1],ARGV[2]}";
//Evaluate script
var result = connection.defaultDatabase.eval(script, ["key1", "key2"], ["arg1", "arg2"]);
//Load and evaluate script by sha
var sha = connection.defaultDatabase.scriptLoad(script);
result = connection.defaultDatabase.evalsha(sha, ["key1", "key2"], ["arg1", "arg2"]);
