SwiftyRedis

SwiftyRedis is an asynchronous Redis library for Swift, designed to streamline your interactions with Redis databases. Drawing inspiration from the redis-rs Rust crate, SwiftyRedis offers a high-level interface to Redis functionality while preserving low-level flexibility. It is tailored to enhance your development experience by providing a very flexible type conversion protocol as well as modern async-await patterns.

Getting Started

To integrate SwiftyRedis into your project, you can use the Swift Package Manager. Simply add the following dependency to your Package.swift file:

.package(url: "https://github.com/michaelvanstraten/swifty-redis.git", from: "0.3.0")

Then, in your target's dependencies array, add "SwiftyRedis" as a dependency:

.target(
    name: "YourApp",
    dependencies: ["SwiftyRedis"]),

Once you've added the dependency, import SwiftyRedis and begin using it in your code:

import SwiftyRedis

let client = RedisClient(.init("localhost"))
let connection = try await client.getConnection()

let value: String = try await connection.hget("myhash", "field1")
