Howto

Please go through examples to get an idea how to use this package.

Look and feel

Some corner cases:

SET key value EX 10 NX
set, err := client.SetNX("key", "value", 10*time.Second).Result()

SORT list LIMIT 0 2 ASC
vals, err := client.Sort("list", redis.Sort{Offset: 0, Count: 2, Order: "ASC"}).Result()

ZRANGEBYSCORE zset -inf +inf WITHSCORES LIMIT 0 2
vals, err := client.ZRangeByScoreWithScores("zset", redis.ZRangeByScore{
    Min: "-inf",
    Max: "+inf",
    Offset: 0,
    Count: 2,
}).Result()

ZINTERSTORE out 2 zset1 zset2 WEIGHTS 2 3 AGGREGATE SUM
vals, err := client.ZInterStore("out", redis.ZStore{Weights: []int64{2, 3}}, "zset1", "zset2").Result()

EVAL "return {KEYS[1],ARGV[1]}" 1 "key" "hello"
vals, err := client.Eval("return {KEYS[1],ARGV[1]}", []string{"key"}, []string{"hello"}).Result()
