SwiftyRedis is an asynchronous Redis library for Swift, designed to streamline your interactions with Redis databases. Drawing inspiration from the redis-rs Rust crate, SwiftyRedis offers a high-level interface to Redis functionality while preserving low-level flexibility. It is tailored to enhance your development experience by providing a very flexible type conversion protocol as well as modern async-await patterns.
To integrate SwiftyRedis into your project, you can use the Swift Package Manager. Simply add the following dependency to your Package.swift file:
.package(url: "https://github.com/michaelvanstraten/swifty-redis.git", from: "0.3.0")Then, in your target's dependencies array, add "SwiftyRedis" as a dependency:
.target(
name: "YourApp",
dependencies: ["SwiftyRedis"]),Once you've added the dependency, import SwiftyRedis and begin using it in your code:
import SwiftyRedis
let client = RedisClient(.init("localhost"))
let connection = try await client.getConnection()
let value: String = try await connection.hget("myhash", "field1")- Implementation of over 240 Redis commands
- Seamless type conversion protocol for intuitive results
- Utilization of modern and intuitive async-await design patterns
- Simplified builder interface for creating custom commands
- Built-in Pub/Sub support
- Upcoming: Cluster support
- Upcoming: RedisJSON implementation
- Upcoming: RedisTimeSeries implementation
- Upcoming: SwiftNIO networking backend
