brpoplpush-redis_script

Bring your own LUA scripts into redis

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'brpoplpush-redis_script'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install brpoplpush-redis_script

If you want to avoid global state in your project/gem the recommended way to use RedisScript is the following way.

Include the DSL module from the gem and configure with a path. We don't believe it is a good idea to put all your lua files in a single directory. We rather believe that these scripts should be placed and organized by feature.

Let's take sidekiq-unique-jobs for example. It uses brpoplpush-redis_script like follows:

# lib/my_redis_scripts.rb
require "brpoplpush/redis_script"

module SidekiqUniqueJobs::Scripts
  include Brpoplpush::RedisScript::DSL

  configure do |config|
    config.scripts_path = Rails.root.join("app", "lua")
  end
end

SidekiqUniqueJobs::Scripts.execute(:lock, Redis.new, keys: ["key1", "key2"] argv: ["bogus"])
# => 1

SidekiqUniqueJobs::Scripts.execute(:lock, Redis.new, keys: ["key1", "key1"] argv: ["bogus"])
# => -1

-- app/lua/lock.lua

local key_one = KEYS[1]
local key_two = KEYS[2]

local locked_val = ARGV[1]

if not key_one == key_two then
  redis.call("SET", key_two, )
  return 1
end

return -1

This is a very simplified version of course.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
