Version

This document describes lua-redis-parser v0.13 released on 8 April 2017.

Description

This lua library implements a thin and fast redis raw response parser that constructs corresponding lua data strucutres, as well as a function that constructs redis raw requests.

To maximize speed, this module is implemented in pure C.

This library is usually used by Lua code running atop lua-nginx-module to access redis backends though redis2-nginx-module.

Functions

The parser variable used below is referring to the variable holding the return value of require "redis.parser". In other words, we assume you have written the following code first:

    local parser = require "redis.parser"

parse_reply

syntax: res, typ = parser.parse_reply(raw_reply)

Parses the single (or the first) raw redis reply from the raw_reply string and returns the Lua data structure res, as well as the reply type typ.

Here is an example:

    local parser = require 'redis.parser'

    -- assuming the reply variable holds the (single) redis response
    --  to be parsed:
    local res, typ = parser.parse_reply(reply)

    if typ == parser.BAD_REPLY then
        -- res is the textual error message from the parser
    elseif typ == parser.INTEGER_REPLY then
        -- res is an integer, like 3, returned from the redis server
    elseif typ == parser.ERROR_REPLY then
        -- res is the error message from the redis2 server
    elseif typ == parser.STATUS_REPLY then
        -- res is the textual message from the redis server
    elseif typ == parser.BULK_REPLY then
        --- res is a string for the bulk data
    elseif typ == parser.MULTI_BULK_REPLY then
        -- res is a lua (array) table that holds the individual bulks
    end

parse_replies

syntax: results = parser.parse_replies(raw_replies)

Similar to the parse_reply method, but parse multiple pipelined redis replies in the raw_replies string argument. Returns a table of all the parsed results where each result is an array-like table consists of two elements, res and typ, which have exactly the same meaning as the return values of the parse_reply function.

For instance,

    local parser = require "redis.parser"

    -- assuming the replies variable holds n redis responses
    --  to be parsed:
    local results = parser.parse_replies(replies, n)
    for i, result in ipairs(results) do
        local res = result[1]
        local typ = result[2]

        -- res and typ have exactly the same meaning as in
        --  the parse_reply method documented above
    end

Back to TOC

typename

syntax: str = parser.typename(typ)

Returns the textual representation of the reply type values returned by the parse_reply and parse_replies functions. Here's the correspondence:

    parser.typename(parser.BAD_REPLY)        == "bad reply"
    parser.typename(parser.INTEGER_REPLY)    == "integer reply"
    parser.typename(parser.ERROR_REPLY)      == "error reply"
    parser.typename(parser.STATUS_REPLY)     == "status reply"
    parser.typename(parser.BULK_REPLY)       == "bulk reply"
    parser.typename(parser.MULTI_BULK_REPLY) == "multi-bulk reply"

Back to TOC

build_query

syntax: raw_request = parser.build_query(args)

Constructs a raw Redis request from simple Lua values. It simply accepts a Lua array-like table, a list of parameters including the command name.

Please check out the complete list of redis 2.0 commands,

http://redis.io/commands

The first command in that list, "APPEND key value", for example, we can just use

    local parser = require "redis.parser"

    local req = parser.build_query({'APPEND', 'some-key', 'some-value'})

to construct a binary request in the return value. Because the Redis command is case insensitive, I usually just use 'append', the lower case form, as the first element of that list, as in

    local parser = require "redis.parser"

    local req = parser.build_query({'set', 'foo', 'some value'})
        -- req is the raw TCP request ready to send to the remote redis server
        -- over the TCP connection

Null values should be specified by parser.null rather than Lua's nil value.

Boolean values will be converted to 1 or 0, for true and false, respectively.

Build requirements

• Lua (http://www.lua.org/)
• or LuaJIT (http://www.luajit.org/)
• Latest source tarball of this library downloaded from https://github.com/agentzh/lua-redis-parser/tags

Gnu make and gcc is required to build this module.

Back to TOC

Linux/BSD/Solaris

    gmake CC=gcc
    gmake install CC=gcc

Back to TOC

Mac OS X

    make LDFLAGS='-bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup' CC=gcc
    make install

If your Lua or LuaJIT is not installed into the system, specify its include directory like this:

    make LUA_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/luajit/include/luajit-2.0

You can specify a custom path for the installation target:

    make install LUA_LIB_DIR=/opt/lualib

The DESTDIR variable is also supported, to ease RPM packaging.

This library is included and enabled by default in the OpenResty bundle.
