Fred

An async client for Redis and Valkey

Example

use fred::prelude::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), RedisError> {
  let client = RedisClient::default();
  client.init().await?;

  // convert responses to many common Rust types
  let foo: Option<String> = client.get("foo").await?;
  assert!(foo.is_none());

  client.set("foo", "bar", None, None, false).await?;
  // or use turbofish to declare response types
  println!("Foo: {:?}", client.get::<String, _>("foo").await?);

  client.quit().await?;
  Ok(())
}

Client Features

Name	Default	Description
transactions	x	Enable a Transaction interface.
enable-native-tls		Enable TLS support via native-tls.
enable-rustls		Enable TLS support via rustls with the default crypto backend features.
enable-rustls-ring		Enable TLS support via rustls and the ring crypto backend.
vendored-openssl		Enable the native-tls/vendored feature.
metrics		Enable the metrics interface to track overall latency, network latency, and request/response sizes.
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 requires a multi-thread Tokio runtime.
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 a subscriber client interface that manages channel subscription state for callers.
serde-json		Enable an interface to automatically convert Redis types to JSON via serde-json.
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.
replicas		Enable an interface that routes commands to replica nodes.
default-nil-types		Enable a looser parsing interface for nil values.
sha-1		Enable an interface for hashing Lua scripts.
unix-sockets		Enable Unix socket support.
glommio		Enable experimental Glommio support. See the Glommio Runtime docs for more information. When enabled the client will no longer work with Tokio runtimes.
credential-provider		Enable an interface that can dynamically load auth credentials at runtime.

Interface Features

The command interfaces have many functions and compile times can add up quickly. Interface features begin with i- and control which public interfaces are built.

Name	Default	Description
i-all		Enable the interfaces included with a basic Redis or Valkey installation. This does not include i-redis-stack features.
i-std	x	Enable the common data structure interfaces (lists, sets, streams, keys, etc).
i-acl		Enable the ACL command interface.
i-client		Enable the CLIENT command interface.
i-cluster		Enable the CLUSTER command interface.
i-config		Enable the CONFIG command interface.
i-geo		Enable the GEO command interface.
i-hashes		Enable the hashes (HGET, etc) command interface.
i-hyperloglog		Enable the hyperloglog command interface.
i-keys		Enable the main keys (GET, SET, etc) command interface.
i-lists		Enable the lists (LPUSH, etc) command interface.
i-scripts		Enable the scripting command interfaces.
i-memory		Enable the MEMORY command interfaces.
i-pubsub		Enable the publish-subscribe command interfaces.
i-server		Enable the server control (SHUTDOWN, BGSAVE, etc) interfaces.
i-sets		Enable the sets (SADD, etc) interface.
i-sorted-sets		Enable the sorted sets (ZADD, etc) interface.
i-slowlog		Enable the SLOWLOG interface.
i-streams		Enable the streams (XADD, etc) interface.
i-tracking		Enable a client tracking interface.
i-time-series		Enable a Redis Timeseries interface.
i-redis-json		Enable a RedisJSON interface.
i-redisearch		Enable a RediSearch interface.
i-redis-stack		Enable the Redis Stack interfaces (i-redis-json, i-time-series, etc).

If a specific high level command function is not supported callers can use the custom function as a workaround until the higher level interface is added. See the custom example for more info.

Debugging Features

Name	Default	Description
debug-ids		Enable a global counter used to differentiate commands in logs.
network-logs		Enable additional TRACE logs for all frames on all sockets.
