# Disposable-Redis
## Create disposable instances of redis server on random ports
This can be used for testing redis dependent code without having to make
assumptions on if and where redis server is running, or fear of corrupting data.
You just create a redis server instance, run your code against it as if it were a mock, and then remove it without a trace.
The only assumption here is that you have `redis-server` available in your path.
For full documentation see [http://godoc.org/github.com/EverythingMe/disposable-redis](http://godoc.org/github.com/EverythingMe/disposable-redis)
## Example:
```go
import (
"fmt"
"time"
disposable "github.com/EverythingMe/disposable-redis"
redigo "github.com/garyburd/redigo/redis"
)
func ExampleServer() {
// create a new server on a random port
r, err := disposable.NewServerRandomPort()
if err != nil {
panic("Could not create random server")
}
// we must remember to kill it at the end, or we'll have zombie redises
defer r.Stop()
// wait for our server to be ready for serving, for at least 50 ms.
// This gives redis time to initialize itself and listen
if err = r.WaitReady(50 * time.Millisecond); err != nil {
panic("Couldn't connect to instance")
}
//now we can just connect and talk to it
conn, err := redigo.Dial("tcp", r.Addr())
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(redigo.String(conn.Do("SET", "foo", "bar")))
//Output: OK
}
```
