Version
=======
This document describes lua-redis-parser [v0.13](https://github.com/agentzh/lua-redis-parser/tags) 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](http://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module) to access
redis backends though [redis2-nginx-module](http://github.com/agentzh/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:
```lua
local parser = require "redis.parser"
```
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
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:
```lua
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
```
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
parse_replies
-------------
**syntax:** *results = parser.parse_replies(raw_replies)*
Similar to the [parse_reply](#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](#parse_reply) function.
For instance,
```lua
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](#table-of-contents)
typename
--------
**syntax:** *str = parser.typename(typ)*
Returns the textual representation of the reply type values returned by the [parse_reply](#parse_reply) and [parse_replies](#parse_replies) functions. Here's the correspondence:
```lua
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](#table-of-contents)
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,
The first command in that list, "APPEND key value", for example, we can just use
```lua
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
```lua
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
Gnu make and gcc is required to build this module.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
Linux/BSD/Solaris
-----------------
```bash
gmake CC=gcc
gmake install CC=gcc
```
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
Mac OS X
--------
```bash
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:
```bash
make LUA_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/luajit/include/luajit-2.0
```
You can specify a custom path for the installation target:
```bash
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](http://openresty.org).
