• A Redis Client compatible with Predis API
• Implemented PSR-16 SampleCache
• A Session Storage class to store sessions into redis

You can install the latest version of blink-redis by using Composer:

composer require blink/redis:dev-master

You can easily configure a redis service in the services definition file which located to src/config/services.php by default.

The following is a sample example:

'redis' => [
    'class' => blink\redis\Client::class,
    'servers' => ['tcp://127.0.0.1:6379'],
]

Once the redis service configured, we can access redis server through app()->redis in our application. As the Redis component is based on Predis, you can refer their documentation on how to issue command to redis servers.

The component provides a PSR-16 SampleCache implementation which using redis as a cache storage. We can define a cache service in services.php likes the folowing:

'cache' => [
    'class' => blink\redis\cache\SampleCache::class,
    'redis' => 'redis', // The redis service to store cached data
    'prefix' => '',     // The prefix of cached key
]

Once the cache service configured, we can access the cache service through app()->cache in our application.

The component also provides a Session Storgae class which allows Blink to store application sessions into redis. we can configure the session storage in the following way:

'session' => [
    'class' => blink\session\Manager::class,
    'expires' => 3600 * 24 * 15,
    'storage' => [
        'class' => blink\redis\session\Storage::class,
        'redis' => 'redis',  // the redis service to store sessions
    ]
],
