# Redis Client Module
A robust Redis client wrapper for Rust applications that provides connection management, automatic reconnection, and a simple interface for executing Redis commands.
## Features
- **Singleton Pattern**: Maintains a global Redis client instance, so we don't re-int all the time.
- **Connection Management**: Automatically handles connection creation and reconnection
- **Flexible Connectivity**:
- Tries Unix socket connection first (`$HOME/hero/var/myredis.sock`)
- Falls back to TCP connection (localhost) if socket connection fails
- **Database Selection**: Uses the `REDISDB` environment variable to select the Redis database (defaults to 0)
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling with detailed error messages
- **Thread Safety**: Safe to use in multi-threaded applications
## Usage
### Basic Usage
```rust
use crate::redisclient::execute;
use redis::cmd;
// Execute a simple SET command
let mut set_cmd = redis::cmd("SET");
set_cmd.arg("my_key").arg("my_value");
let result: redis::RedisResult<()> = execute(&mut set_cmd);
// Execute a GET command
let mut get_cmd = redis::cmd("GET");
get_cmd.arg("my_key");
let value: redis::RedisResult<String> = execute(&mut get_cmd);
if let Ok(val) = value {
println!("Value: {}", val);
}
```
### Advanced Usage
```rust
use crate::redisclient::{get_redis_client, reset};
// Get the Redis client directly
let client = get_redis_client()?;
// Execute a command using the client
let mut cmd = redis::cmd("HSET");
cmd.arg("my_hash").arg("field1").arg("value1");
let result: redis::RedisResult<()> = client.execute(&mut cmd);
// Reset the Redis client connection
reset()?;
```
## Environment Variables
- `REDISDB`: Specifies the Redis database number to use (default: 0)
- `HOME`: Used to determine the path to the Redis Unix socket
## Connection Strategy
1. First attempts to connect via Unix socket at `$HOME/hero/var/myredis.sock`
2. If socket connection fails, falls back to TCP connection at `redis://127.0.0.1/`
3. If both connection methods fail, returns an error
## Error Handling
The module provides detailed error messages that include:
- The connection method that failed
- The path to the socket that was attempted
- The underlying Redis error
## Testing
The module includes both unit tests and integration tests:
- Unit tests that mock Redis functionality
- Integration tests that require a real Redis server
- Tests automatically skip if Redis is not available
## Thread Safety
The Redis client is wrapped in an `Arc<Mutex<>>` to ensure thread safety when accessing the global instance.
