Status: early development

• The .createClient client/server works and can be used to replace (Redis + the node_redis client) in your apps' tests
• TODO: implement the rest of the commants
• TODO: implement the (client/server-independent test)-runner

Commands implemented (but not yet tested!)

del, exists, getbit, getrange, getset, lindex, linsert, llen, lpop, lpush, lpushx, lrange, lrem, lset, ltrim, mget, mset, msetnx, randomkey, rename, renamenx, rpop, rpoplpush, rpush, rpushx, sadd, scard, sdiff, sdiffstore, setnx, sinter, strlen, type

(Implementation) and (client/server-independent tests) for each command

For example, here's src/commands/get.coffee

module.exports =

  get: (k) ->
    if @items[k]?
      @assertString @items[k]
    else
      null

  tests:
    eg: """
      set k, v: OK
      get k:    v
    """
    wrong_type: """
      non-string k: OK
      get k:        ERROR
    """

Application: running a mock client/server

This client-with-its-own-server can be useful for development/testing, and will be tested for full equivalence to mranney's node_redis.

var redis = require('redis-semantics');
var client = redis.createClient();
...
client.append(k, v, fuction(err, reply) {
    ...
})

Application: testing your client/server implementations

For example, to test node_redis + Redis 2.0:

Application: generating awesome documentation for each command
