Fred

An async Redis client for Rust.

Example

use fred::prelude::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), RedisError> {
  let config = RedisConfig::default();
  let perf = PerformanceConfig::default();
  let policy = ReconnectPolicy::default();
  let client = RedisClient::new(config, Some(perf), Some(policy));
  
  // connect to the server, returning a handle to the task that drives the connection
  let _ = client.connect();
  let _ = client.wait_for_connect().await?;
 
  // convert responses to many common Rust types
  let foo: Option<String> = client.get("foo").await?;
  assert!(foo.is_none());
  
  let _: () = client.set("foo", "bar", None, None, false).await?;
  // or use turbofish to declare response types
  println!("Foo: {:?}", client.get::<String, _>("foo").await?);
  
  // or use a lower level interface for responses to defer parsing, etc
  let foo: RedisValue = client.get("foo").await?;
  assert_eq!(foo.as_str().unwrap(), "bar");
  
  let _ = client.quit().await?;
  Ok(())
}

Build Time Features

Name	Default	Description
enable-native-tls		Enable TLS support via native-tls.
enable-rustls		Enable TLS support via rustls.
vendored-openssl		Enable the native-tls/vendored feature, if possible.
ignore-auth-error	x	Ignore auth errors that occur when a password is supplied but not required.
metrics		Enable the metrics interface to track overall latency, network latency, and request/response sizes.
reconnect-on-auth-error		A NOAUTH error is treated the same as a general connection failure and the client will reconnect based on the reconnection policy. This is recommended if callers are using ElastiCache.
pool-prefer-active	x	Prefer connected clients over clients in a disconnected state when using the RedisPool interface.
full-tracing		Enable full tracing support. This can emit a lot of data.
partial-tracing		Enable partial tracing support, only emitting traces for top level commands and network latency.
blocking-encoding		Use a blocking task for encoding or decoding frames. This can be useful for clients that send or receive large payloads, but will only work when used with a multi-thread Tokio runtime.
network-logs		Enable TRACE level logging statements that will print out all data sent to or received from the server. These are the only logging statements that can ever contain potentially sensitive user data.
custom-reconnect-errors		Enable an interface for callers to customize the types of errors that should automatically trigger reconnection logic.
monitor		Enable an interface for running the MONITOR command.
sentinel-client		Enable an interface for communicating directly with Sentinel nodes. This is not necessary to use normal Redis clients behind a sentinel layer.
sentinel-auth		Enable an interface for using different authentication credentials to sentinel nodes.
subscriber-client		Enable an optional subscriber client that manages channel subscription state for callers.
serde-json		Enable an interface to automatically convert Redis types to JSON.
no-client-setname		Disable the automatic CLIENT SETNAME command used to associate server logs with client logs.
mocks		Enable a mocking layer interface that can be used to intercept and process commands in tests.
dns		Enable an interface that allows callers to override the DNS lookup logic.
check-unresponsive		Enable additional monitoring to detect unresponsive connections.
replicas		Enable an interface that routes commands to replica nodes.
client-tracking		Enable a client tracking interface.
