Caching > Redis

Hooks, utilities and helpers to allow caching to the Redis distributed cache

How To Use

Registration

• Asp.Net Standard/Core Dependency Injection

  • Use the provided services.AddRedisCache(Action<RedisConnectionManager> options) method

• Other Containers

  • Register an instance of IRedisCacheProvider as a Singleton
  • Register an instance of ICache as a Singleton

Usage

• Task Save<TItem>(object key, TItem objectToSave, DateTime? expires, params string[] tags)

  • An asynchronous function to call when saving an item to the Redis cache
  • NB expiry is optional, if not provided, cached items will not expire

• Task<TItem> Get(object key)

  • An asynchronous function to call when retrieving an item from the Redis cache

• Task<IEnumerable<TItem>> GetByTag<TItem>(string tag)

  • An asynchronous function to call when retrieving items by tag from the Redis cache

• Task Delete<TItem>(object key)

  • An asynchronous function to call when deleting an item from the cache

Manual Expiry

If the instance of Redis in use doesn't support Key Events, then we can manually remove expired tags. To do this set the ManuallyProcessExpiredKeys option to true in the CacheConfig
