RedisKeyManager

RedisKeyManager provides a simple Ruby DSL for declaring the Redis key patterns used by your application. Instead of repeating the same string literals and manual interpolations throughout your application—with the corresponding risk of error and silent failure—RedisKeyManager generates methods that return those keys, accepting named parameters corresponding to the substitutions specified in each pattern.

# Gemfile
gem "redis_key_manager"

$ bundle

require "redis_key_manager"

# Declare your key patterns like this:

class MyRedisKeys
  include RedisKeyManager::Manager

  key :hits, "hits"
  key :user, "user:[user_id]"
  key :foo, "foo:[name]:bar:[boom]:[bam]"
end

# Use your keys like this:

key = MyRedisKeys.hits  # => "hits"
Redis.current.incr(key)

key = MyRedisKeys.foo(name: "BOB", boom: 5, bam: 9)  # => "foo:BOB:bar:5:9"
Redis.current.zadd(key, 1.3, 500)

The methods generated by key declarations helpfully raise exceptions if you don't pass the named arguments they expect, or if the values you pass are nil.

MyRedisKeys.foo(name: "BOB", boom: 5, blop: 6)
# ArgumentError: Invalid arguments for MyRedisKeys.foo

MyRedisKeys.foo(name: "BOB", boom: 5)
# ArgumentError: Invalid arguments for MyRedisKeys.foo

MyRedisKeys.foo(name: "BOB", boom: 5, bam: nil)
# RedisKeyManager::InvalidKeyComponentError: Invalid Redis key component passed to MyRedisKeys.foo
