A non-blocking Swift driver for Redis built with SwiftNIO.

This package defines everything you need to work with Redis through the Redis Seralization Protocol (RESP).

• Pitch discussion: Swift Server Forums
• Proposal: SSWG-0004

To install NIORedis, just add the package as a dependency in your Package.swift

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/Mordil/nio-redis.git", .upToNextMinor(from: "0.2.0")
]

and run the following command: swift package resolve

NIORedis is ready to use right after installation.

import NIORedis

let driver = NIORedisDriver(ownershipModel: .internal(threadCount: 2))

let connection = try driver.makeConnection().wait()

let result = try connection.set("my_key", to: "some value")
    .flatMap { return connection.get("my_key" }
    .wait()

print(result) // Optional("some value")

Check out CONTRIBUTING.md for more information on how to help with NIORedis.

It is highly recommended to use Docker to install Redis locally.

docker run -d -p 6379:6379 --name nioredis redis:5

Otherwise, install Redis directly on your machine from Redis.io.
