Redis session store for Rack

redis-rack provides a Redis-backed session store for Rack.

See the main redis-store readme for general guidelines.

NOTE: This is not redis-rack-cache, the library for using Redis as a backend store for the Rack::Cache HTTP cache. All this gem does is store the Rack session within Redis.

Installation

Install with Bundler by adding the following to Gemfile:

gem 'redis-rack'

Then, run:

$ bundle install

Or, you can install it manually using RubyGems:

$ gem install redis-rack

Usage

If you are using redis-store with Rails, consider using the redis-rails gem instead. For standalone usage:

# config.ru
require 'rack'
require 'rack/session/redis'

use Rack::Session::Redis

Development

To install this gem for development purposes:

$ gem install bundler # note: you don't need to do this if you already have it installed
$ git clone git://github.com/redis-store/redis-rack.git
$ cd redis-rack
$ bundle install

Running tests

To run tests:

$ bundle exec rake

If you are on Snow Leopard you have to run the following command to build this software:

$ env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" bundle exec rake
