NAME
Hiredis::Async - Perl binding for asychronous hiredis API
SYNOPSIS
use Hiredis::Async;
Hiredis::Async->new(
host => '127.0.0.1',
port => 6379,
# callbacks (optional)
addRead => sub { # add read event watcher }
delRead => sub { # delete read event watcher },
addWrite => sub { # add write event watcher },
delWrite => sub { # delete write event watcher },
);
$redis->Command(['PING'], sub {
my $result = shift;
say "the server said: $result"; # PONG
});
$redis->Command([qw/LPUSH key value/], sub {
my ($result, $err) = @_;
...;
});
$redis->Command([qw/LRANGE key 0 2/], sub {
my ($result, $err) = @_;
my @list = @{ $result };
...;
});DESCRIPTION
Hiredis::Async contains Perl binding for the asynchronous features of the hiredis C library (https://github.com/antirez/hiredis). Its intended purpose is to allow event loops to easily take advantage of the hiredis async features. If you just want to use these features and don't care about event loop integration you should check out AnyEvent::Hiredis instead.
The main entry point Command is how you interact with the Redis server. It takes two arguments: an array ref containing the Redis command and its arguments, and a callback to call with the reply when it has arrived.
The other commands deal with I/O to and from the server. GetFd returns the socket that's connected to the server. You can use this fd to poll for readablity or writability with an event loop. When this fd is readable, call HandleRead. When the fd is writable and hiredis indicates there are writes to perform, call HandleWrite. Note that under normal circumstances the fd will be writable most of the time. So it's important to enable the callback only when there are outstanding writes. Otherwise your program will use 100% CPU even when idle. Use the available callbacks to determine when there are outstanding writes.
METHODS
new
Example:
Hiredis::Async->new(
host => '127.0.0.1',
port => 6379,
# callbacks (optional)
addRead => sub { # add read event watcher }
delRead => sub { # delete read event watcher },
addWrite => sub { # add write event watcher },
delWrite => sub { # delete write event watcher },
);Takes the following named arguments:
- host
- port
The remaining constructor arguments are callbacks used to handle various hiredis events. They're all passed the Redis connection file descriptor as their one and only argument.
- addRead
-
Start the read watcher.
- delRead
-
Stop the read watcher.
- addWrite
-
Start the write watcher.
- delRead
-
Stop the write watcher.
Command
Takes an array ref representing a command to send to Redis and calls a callback with the result or error.
GetFd
Returns the file descriptor being used to communicate with the Redis server.
HandleRead
Reads as many bytes from the Redis server as possible without blocking. It may call callbacks if results are available.
HandleWrite
Write as many bytes to the Redis server as possible without blocking.
INSTALL
Hiredis::Async needs the underlying hiredis C library. Install it from your package management system or from source: https://github.com/antirez/hiredis . If you install hiredis to anywhere other than /usr/local or /usr then you'll need to set the environment variable HIREDIS_PREFIX before installing this module.
