Repository Pattern Redis Example

This is a simple example project that demonstrates how to connect to a Redis database using Go and the go-redis library.

Prerequisites

Before running this project, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• Go installed on your machine. You can download and install Go from the official website: https://go.dev/dl/
• Docker installed on your machine. You can download and install Docker from the official website: https://www.docker.com/get-started

Getting Started

Follow the steps below to set up and run the project:

1. Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/lucasgrvarela/go-redis-example.git

1. Change into the project directory:

$ cd go-redis-example

1. Start a Redis server using Docker:

$ docker run -d -p 6379:6379 --name redis-server redis

1. Run the Go application:

$ go run *.go
Key set successfully!
Key: 'mykey' retrieved, value: 'myvalue'

1. Test manually everything worked as expected:

$ docker exec -it redis-server bash
$ redis-cli # run inside the container
127.0.0.1:6379> GET mykey
"myvalue"

Configuration

By default, the Go application connects to Redis running on localhost:6379. If your Redis server is running on a different address or port, you can modify the main.go file and update the Redis server address in the NewRedisClient function.
