IRedis lets you type Redis commands smoothly, and displays results +in a user-friendly format. + +IRedis is an alternative for redis-cli. In most cases, IRedis behaves exactly +the same as redis-cli. Besides, it is safer to use IRedis on production servers +than redis-cli: IRedis will prevent accidentally running dangerous commands, +like `KEYS *` (see +[Redis docs / Latency generated by slow commands](https://redis.io/topics/latency#latency-generated-by-slow-commands)). + +## Features + +- Advanced code completion. If you run command `KEYS` then run `DEL`, IRedis + will auto-complete your command based on `KEYS` result. +- Command validation. IRedis will validate command while you are typing, and + highlight errors. E.g. try `CLUSTER MEET IP PORT`, IRedis will validate IP and + PORT for you. +- Command highlighting, fully based on redis grammar. Any valid command in + IRedis shell is a valid redis command. +- Human-friendly result display. +- _pipeline_ feature, you can use your favorite shell tools to parse redis' + response, like `get json | jq .`. +- Support pager for long output. +- Support connection via URL, `iredis --url redis://example.com:6379/1`. +- Store server configuration: `iredis -d prod-redis` (see [dsn](#using-dsn) for + more). +- `peek` command to check the key's type then automatically call + `get`/`lrange`/`sscan`, etc, depending on types. You don't need to call the + `type` command then type another command to get the value. `peek` will also + display the key's length and memory usage. +- <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd> to cancel the current typed command, this won't + exit IRedis, exactly like bash behaviour. Use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>D</kbd> + to send a EOF to exit IRedis. +- <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>R</kbd> to open **reverse-i-search** to search through + your command history. +- Auto suggestions. (Like [fish shell](http://fishshell.com/).) +- Support `--encode=utf-8`, to decode Redis' bytes responses. +- Command hint on bottom, include command syntax, supported redis version, and + time complexity. +- Official docs with built-in `HELP` command, try `HELP SET`! +- Written in pure Python, but IRedis was packaged into a single binary with + [PyOxidizer](https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer), you can use cURL to + download and run, it just works, even you don't have a Python interpreter. +- Hide password for `AUTH` command. +- Says "Goodbye!" to you when you exit! +- For full features, please see: [iredis.io](https://www.iredis.io) + +## Install + +Install via pip: + +``` +pip install iredis +``` + +[pipx](https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx) is recommended: + +``` +pipx install iredis +``` + +Or you can download the executable binary with cURL(or wget), untar, then run. +It is especially useful when you don't have a python interpreter(E.g. the +[official Redis docker image](https://hub.docker.com/_/redis/) which doesn't +have Python installed.): + +``` +wget https://github.com/laixintao/iredis/releases/latest/download/iredis.tar.gz \ + && tar -xzf iredis.tar.gz \ + && ./iredis +``` + +(Check the [release page](https://github.com/laixintao/iredis/releases) if you +want to download an old version of IRedis.) + +## Usage + +Once you install IRedis, you will know how to use it. Just remember, IRedis +supports similar options like redis-cli, like `-h` for redis-server's host and +`-p` for port. + +``` +$ iredis --help +``` + +### Using DSN + +IRedis support storing server configuration in config file. Here is a DSN +config: + +``` +[alias_dsn] +dev=redis://localhost:6379/4 +staging=redis://username:password@staging-redis.example.com:6379/1 +``` + +Put this in your `iredisrc` then connect via `iredis -d staging` or +`iredis -d dev`. + +### Configuration + +IRedis supports config files. Command-line options will always take precedence +over config. Configuration resolution from highest to lowest precedence is: + +- _Options from command line_ +- `$PWD/.iredisrc` +- `~/.iredisrc` (this path can be changed with `iredis --iredisrc $YOUR_PATH`) +- `/etc/iredisrc` +- default config in IRedis package. + +You can copy the _self-explained_ default config here: + +https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laixintao/iredis/master/iredis/data/iredisrc + +And then make your own changes. + +(If you are using an old versions of IRedis, please use the config file below, +and change the version in URL): + +https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laixintao/iredis/v1.0.4/iredis/data/iredisrc + +### Keys + +IRedis support unix/readline-style REPL keyboard shortcuts, which means keys +like <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>F</kbd> to forward work. + +Also: + +- <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>F</kbd> (i.e. EOF) to exit; you can also use the `exit` + command. +- <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>L</kbd> to clear screen; you can also use the `clear` + command. +- <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>X</kbd> <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>E</kbd> to open an + editor to edit command, or <kbd>V</kbd> in vi-mode. + +## Development + +### Release Strategy + +IRedis is built and released by CircleCI. Whenever a tag is pushed to the +`master` branch, a new release is built and uploaded to pypi.org, it's very +convenient. + +Thus, we release as often as possible, so that users can always enjoy the new +features and bugfixes quickly. Any bugfix or new feature will get at least a +patch release, whereas big features will get a minor release. + +### Setup Environment + +IRedis favors [poetry](https://github.com/sdispater/poetry) as package +management tool. To setup a develop environment on your computer: + +First, install poetry (you can do it in a python's virtualenv): + +``` +pip install poetry +``` + +Then run (which is similar to `pip install -e .`): + +``` +poetry install +``` + +**Be careful running testcases locally, it may flush you db!!!** + +### Development Logs + +This is a command-line tool, so we don't write logs to stdout. + +You can `tail -f ~/.iredis.log` to see logs, the log is pretty clear, you can +see what actually happens from log files. + +### Catch Up with Latest Redis-doc + +IRedis use a git submodule to track current-up-to-date redis-doc version. To +catch up with latest: + +1. Git pull in redis-doc +2. Copy doc files to `/data`: `cp -r redis-doc/commands* iredis/data` +3. Prettier + markdown`prettier --prose-wrap always iredis/data/commands/*.md --write` +4. Check the diff, update IRedis' code if needed. + +## Related Projects + +- [redis-tui](https://github.com/mylxsw/redis-tui) + +If you like iredis, you may also like other cli tools by +[dbcli](https://www.dbcli.com/): + +- [pgcli](https://www.pgcli.com) - Postgres Client with Auto-completion and + Syntax Highlighting +- [mycli](https://www.mycli.net) - MySQL/MariaDB/Percona Client with + Auto-completion and Syntax Highlighting +- [litecli](https://litecli.com) - SQLite Client with Auto-completion and Syntax + Highlighting +- [mssql-cli](https://github.com/dbcli/mssql-cli) - Microsoft SQL Server Client + with Auto-completion and Syntax Highlighting +- [athenacli](https://github.com/dbcli/athenacli) - AWS Athena Client with + Auto-completion and Syntax Highlighting +- [vcli](https://github.com/dbcli/vcli) - VerticaDB client +- [iredis](https://github.com/laixintao/iredis/) - Client for Redis with + AutoCompletion and Syntax Highlighting + +IRedis is build on the top of +[prompt_toolkit](https://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit), a +Python library (by [Jonathan Slenders](https://twitter.com/jonathan_s)) for +building rich commandline applications. |
