==================
Flask-Redis-Helper
==================

Yet another Redis extension for Flask. ``Flask-Redis-Helper`` doesn't break PyCharm autocomplete/inspections and handles
the Flask application context the same way SQLAlchemy does.

* Python 2.6, 2.7, PyPy, PyPy3, 3.3, and 3.4 supported on Linux and OS X.
* Python 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 supported on Windows (both 32 and 64 bit versions of Python).

Tested on Windows XP and Windows 10 technical preview.

Attribution
===========

Inspired by `Flask-SQLAlchemy `_ and
`Flask-And-Redis `_.

Supported Libraries
===================

* `Flask `_ 0.10.1
* `Redis `_ 2.9.1
* `Celery `_ 3.1.11

Quickstart
==========

Install:

.. code:: bash

pip install Flask-Redis-Helper

Examples
========

Basic Example
-------------

.. code:: python

from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.redis import Redis

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['REDIS_URL'] = 'redis://localhost'
redis = Redis(app)

Factory Example
---------------

.. code:: python

# extensions.py
from flask.ext.redis import Redis

redis = Redis()
redis_cache = Redis()

.. code:: python

# application.py
from flask import Flask
from extensions import redis, redis_cache

def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['REDIS_URL'] = 'redis://localhost/0'
app.config['REDIS_CACHE_URL'] = 'redis://localhost/1'
redis.init_app(app)
redis_cache.init_app(app, config_prefix='REDIS_CACHE')
return app

.. code:: python

# manage.py
from application import create_app

app = create_app()
app.run()

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

``Flask-Redis-Helper`` subclasses ``StrictRedis`` and adds the init_app() method for delayed initialization (for
applications that instantiate extensions in a separate file, but run init_app() in the same file Flask() was
instantiated).

The following config settings are searched for in the Flask application's configuration dictionary:

* ``REDIS_URL`` -- URL to Redis server. May be a network URL or Unix socket URL. Individual components may be overridden
by settings below (like setting REDIS_DB). URLs must start with redis://, file://, or redis+socket:// (Celery
compatibility). redis:// handles ambiguous URLs (like redis://localhost and redis://my_socket_file) by
prioritizing network URL interpretations over socket URLs. Use the file:// or redis+socket:// URL schemes to
force socket URL interpretations over network URLs.

* ``REDIS_SOCKET`` -- UNIX socket file path. If specified, disables REDIS_HOST and REDIS_PORT settings.
* ``REDIS_HOST`` -- the Redis server's hostname/IP. Default is localhost.
* ``REDIS_PORT`` -- TCP port number. Default is 6379.
* ``REDIS_PASSWORD`` -- password. Default is None.
* ``REDIS_DB`` -- DB instance (e.g. 1). Must be an integer. Default is 0.
