class RedisClientProtocol (*args, **kwargs)

Protocol class defining the interface for a Redis client.

This protocol outlines the expected behavior of a Redis client, allowing for standardization among different implementations and allowing customers to extend it in their own implementation.

Methods

  • get(name: bytes | str | memoryview) -> bytes | str | None: Retrieves the value associated with the given key.

  • set( name: str | bytes, value: bytes | float | str, ex: float | timedelta | None = …, px: float | timedelta | None = …, nx: bool = …, ) -> bool | None: Sets the value for the specified key with optional parameters.

  • delete(keys: bytes | str | memoryview) -> Any: Deletes one or more keys.

Note

  • The ex parameter represents the expiration time in seconds.
  • The px parameter represents the expiration time in milliseconds.
  • The nx parameter, if True, sets the value only if the key does not exist.

Raises

  • NotImplementedError: If any of the methods are not implemented by the concrete class.
