CHI::D...:Redis(3pm)

💖 CHI::Driver::Redis(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for CHI::Driver::Redis — a Redis driver for CHI. and like, it's giving "your cache is on a whole other server and honestly? slay."

✨ NAME ✨

CHI::Driver::Redis — Redis driver for CHI 🍓

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use CHI;

my $foo = CHI->new(
    driver => 'Redis',
    namespace => 'foo',
    server => '127.0.0.1:6379',
    debug => 0
);

literally that's it. look at you go. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is a CHI driver that uses "Redis" to store the data. that's the whole vibe.

and here's the part that matters: care has been taken to not have this module fail in fiery ways if the cache is unavailable 🔥. the author is hoping that if it's failing and the cache isn't required for your work, you can just ignore its warnings. lowkey iconic, highkey considerate.

💀 TECHNICAL DETAILS 💀

👑 Namespaces.

bestie. Redis does not have namespaces. periodt. so we have to do some hoop-jumping 🎀. no cap.

namespaces are tracked in a set named chinamespaces. this is a list of all the namespaces the driver has seen. yes, it's keeping receipts. 🙈

keys in a namespace are stored in a set that shares the name of the namespace. and the actual value is stored as $namespace||key. that's the lil sandwich. that's the whole trick.

🧚 Encoding

this CHI driver uses Redis.pm. and Redis.pm, by default, automatically encodes values to UTF-8 ✨. this driver sets the Redis encoding option to undef to disable automatic encoding. so we're taking the wheel, not the autopilot. 🫶

🎀 CONSTRUCTOR OPTIONS 🎀

• "redis" — option for the constructed "Redis" object
• "redis_options" — for hash of options to the "Redis" constructor

other options, including "server", "debug", and "password" are passed to the "Redis" constructor. so yeah, they get forwarded. they get the whole tour. 💖

---

⭐ ATTRIBUTES ⭐

💜 redis

contains the underlying "Redis" object. that's the real one. the main character. 👑
