sfRedisPlugin
=============

The sfRedis plugin provides redis support to symfony (through Predis).


Installation
------------

You can install this plugin the usual way (RTFM), or if you want to work with the trunk:

    $ cd plugins
    $ svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfRedisPlugin/trunk/ sfRedisPlugin

Then activate the plugin in the `config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php` file.


Configuration
-------------

Edit `config/redis.yml` to suit your redis installation :

    [yml]
    all:
      connections:
        local:
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 6379

You can also use URL based notation :

    [yml]
    all:
      connections:
        local: redis://127.0.0.1:6379

By default, there is a connection named "default" which targets a local redis server.

All available parameters :

    [yml]
    all:
      connections:
        local:
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 6379
          database: 0
          password: secret
          connection_timeout: 5
          read_write_timeout: 30

You can also use Predis cluster feature :

    [yml]
    all:
      connections:
        myshard:
          - redis://192.168.0.1:6379
          - redis://192.168.0.2:6379


Get a predis client
-------------------

To create a connection, use `sfRedis::getClient()` with the connection name as parameter :

    [php]
    $redis = sfRedis::getClient('myshard');

Or empty to use "default" connection:

    [php]
    $redis = sfRedis::getClient();

Then follow Predis API to query the database

    [php]
    $redis->set('name', 'value');
    $value = $redis->get('name');


Symfony cache
-------------

The sfRedisPlugin provides a `sfRedisCache` class to use for view and/or i18n symfony cache.

To enable it, edit `config/factories.yml` :

    [yml]
    all:
      view_cache:
        class: sfRedisCache
        param:
          connection: default
          prefix: view:%SF_APP%:%SF_ENVIRONMENT%

The parameter "connection" is the key defined in `config/redis.yml`.
The parameter "prefix" is adjusted in this example.


Doctrine cache
--------------

The sfRedisPlugin provides a Doctrine cache backend.

To enable it, edit `ProjectConfiguration::configureDoctrine` with :

    [php]
    $cacheDriver = new Doctrine_Cache_Redis(array('server' => 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379', 'prefix' => 'dql:'));
    $manager->setAttribute(Doctrine::ATTR_QUERY_CACHE, $cacheDriver);

The option "prefix" is recommended to keep redis server keys clean.

You can also pass a `Predis_Client` object as an option:

    [php]
    $redis = Predis_Client::create(...);
    $cacheDriver = new Doctrine_Cache_Redis(array('redis' => $redis));
    $manager->setAttribute(Doctrine::ATTR_QUERY_CACHE, $cacheDriver);

Since `sfRedis::getClient` returns a `Predis_Client`, you can use configuration from your `config/redis.yml`:

    [php]
    $cacheDriver = new Doctrine_Cache_Redis(array('redis' => sfRedis::getClient('local'), 'prefix' => 'dql:'));
    $manager->setAttribute(Doctrine::ATTR_QUERY_CACHE, $cacheDriver);

Please note, you need to enable the `sfRedisPlugin` *before* the `sfDoctrinePlugin` to make the previous snippet work.
