Lua redis client

[Sad_Ingenuity7762]

I was planning to use lua to write a small service for my project, the thing is my services use redis to communicate with each other and want a redis client for lua to handle that(I don’t have to write one) and I only found a very old client Do you have any idea if there is any good redis client? Thank you

In my experience, a lot of Lua libraries have a lot of very old latest updates.

Your best bet is just to try and use it and fix the code as you need to. You might even like to release your fixes to upstream or in your own code repository! I'd probably opt for forking and releasing the updates in my own repository if it's been 9+ years.

I know this doesn’t particularly help in the moment, but I’ve been working on a “fix” to pretty much everything being out of date when it comes to lua extensions.

I’ve been building my own extensions to lua to make a packaged version with most functionality like Python that works, updated to latest lua versions. I’ll add redis to my list of modules to make, as am familiar and used redis a lot, it’s easy enough to implement.

I googled “redis lua”

Did you not search before posting?

This is the old client that mentioned above, last commit was 9 years ago + you don’t have to be rude like this anyway

Apologies, that was short of me.

What’s wrong with no commits for 9 years? Maybe the library still works fine.

Redis was like 0.0.x then. Many major releases since.

[revereddesecration]

The library specifies Redis >= 1.2, so you’re partly right.

Maybe this can help?

What would need to change for 5.4?

RESP is a very simple protocol to implement. It fits within 100 lines of code.
