Using MichaCo\CacheManager with Redis

Question

I'm looking to using MichaCo\CacheManager with Redis. Although the project page mentions that distributed cache with Redis is supported. But I do not see any examples of Redis configuration, setting up the environment etc. Anyone have experience with using this library with Redis in their project? Any tips would be appreciated.

Answer 1

There are so many examples of how to use CacheManager in the code base and on http://cachemanager.michaco.net. The configuration example for Redis is even on the home page.

If you don't know how to set up a Redis server, just go to http://redis.io. I'm using Redis for unit tests and local testing, too. It is all in the code base (see Tools folder) ;)

There is also a Windows version of Redis, if you don't want to run a linux instance, which can be installed via Nuget (package name is redis-64).

edit: almost forgot, there is also an article of how to create an application using Redis with CacheManager
