This extension provides the redis key-value store support for the Yii framework 2.0. It includes a Cache and Session storage handler and implements the ActiveRecord pattern that allows you to store active records in redis.

For license information check the LICENSE-file.

Documentation is at docs/guide/README.md.

Requirements ¶

At least redis version is required for all components to work properly.

Installation ¶

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-redis:"~2.0.0" 

or add

"yiisoft/yii2-redis": "~2.0.0" 

to the require section of your composer.json.

Configuration ¶

To use this extension, you have to configure the Connection class in your application configuration:

return [ //.... 'components' => [ 'redis' => [ 'class' => 'yii\redis\Connection', 'hostname' => 'localhost', 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 0, ], ] ]; 

SSL configuration example: `php return [

//.... 'components' => [ 'redis' => [ 'class' => 'yii\redis\Connection', 'hostname' => 'localhost', 'port' => 6380, 'database' => 0, 'useSSL' => true, // Use contextOptions for more control over the connection (https://www.php.net/manual/en/context.php), not usually needed 'contextOptions' => [ 'ssl' => [ 'local_cert' => '/path/to/local/certificate', 'local_pk' => '/path/to/local/private_key', ], ], ], ], 

]; `

Configuring The Connection Scheme

By default, Redis will use the tcp scheme when connecting to your Redis server; however, you may use TLS / SSL encryption by specifying a scheme configuration option in your application configuration: `php return [

//.... 'components' => [ 'redis' => [ //.... 'scheme' => 'tls' ] ] 

]; `
