A Redis module that allows running a JS functions inside the Redis processes. The JS code is execute use V8 JS engine.
Notice, Triggers and Functions is still under active development and not yet GA. The API might (and probably will) change at the final GA version.
docker run -p 6379:6379 redislabs/redisgears:edgeLearn for free at Redis University
Build faster with the Redis Launchpad
Run the following on the main directory:
> docker build -t redisgears2 .Then run the built image:
> docker run -p 6379:6379 redisgears2See the build page for more information.
The API exposed by the module is very similar to the way Redis Functions work. Let's write a simple hello world function that returns the string hello world:
#!js name=lib api_version=1.0
redis.registerFunction('hello_world', function(){
return 'hello_world';
});The first line indicates the engine to use (js) and the library name (lib). The rest is the library code.
Assuming we put the following code in the file lib.js, we can register our function in Redis using the TFUNCTION LOAD command:
> redis-cli -x TFUNCTION LOAD < ./lib.js
OKAnd now we can execute our function using TFCALL command, the command gets the library name and the function name . separated:
> redis-cli TFCALL lib.hello_world 0
"hello_world"Notice that the TFCALL command arguments are very close to the Redis FCALL command arguments. The only difference is that, for Triggers and Functions, the command also requires the library name. The 0 represents the number of keys that will follow, which in our case is 0.
It is possible to call Redis commands inside Triggers and Functions. The function gets as the first argument a client object that allows interaction with Redis using the call function. The following example executes a simple PING command and returns the result:
#!js name=lib api_version=1.0
redis.registerFunction('my_ping', function(client){
return client.call('ping');
});If we will try to send it to our running Redis instance, we will get the following error:
> redis-cli -x TFUNCTION LOAD < ./lib.js
(error) Library lib already existsWe get the error because the library with the same name already exists, we can use the REPLACE argument to replace the library with the new code:
> redis-cli -x TFUNCTION LOAD UPGRADE < ./lib.js
OKAnd now we can invoke my_ping using TFCALL :
> redis-cli TFCALL lib.my_ping 0
