This post is mainly about the publishment and subscription in Redis.I think you may subscribe some offiial
accounts on wechat,and when the authors published something new to their accounts,you will get them in
your wechat.The instance can make you understand this pattern easily.You will find there only 6 commands
for publishment and subscription.
This post introduces the basic usages as well.I will show you how to publish a message to a channel.publish
is the command to publish sometings.I publish a channel named news-nba with the message nba.And the client
return me a integer 0.What is the meaning of the return value?It means that there is nobody subscribe this channel.
publish news-nba nba
I open a new client for subscriber.In this client,I subscribe the above channel news-nba.It will return something
about this channel.
subscribe news-nba
OK,let's publish a new message to the news-nba to see the changes in the both clients.After publishing lakers to
the news-nba channel,this client returns 1.It means that the channel has a subscriber.
publish news-nba lakers
Let's turn to the subscriber's client.You will find the message lakers was already in the client.So amazing it is.
Opening the second client to subscribe this channel,and you will find something similar with the above example.
publish a new message to the news-nba,it returns 2 meaning ...(you understand it)
the both subscribers' client are as follows:
All right,let's see the other commands of this feature in Redis.Seeing the sql first:
select * from channels where channelname like 'news%' To execute this sql,you will get all of the channel whoes
name start with news.Redis can also do that to help us subscibe many channels by matching their name vaguely.
For example I want to subscribe all the channels of news.I will use psubscribe to do this job.
psubscribe news-*
Let's publish some message to the others channel started with news- to find out the changes.
publish news-tech tech
The subscriber's client will receive the message from the channel news-tech.
Again!!Publishing a message to a new channel.
As you can see,the client receives this message as well.
The client of Redis can not show you the unsubscription.So turning to the StackExchange.Redis.The
following code demonstrates the usage in C#.
//publisher
var sub = redis.GetSubscriber();
//subscriber
var sub2 = redis.GetSubscriber(); sub.Publish("news-nba", "nba");
sub.Publish("news-tech", "tech"); //sub
sub2.Subscribe("news-nba", (channel, value) =>
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} has been published to {1}!",value,channel));
});
sub2.Subscribe("news-tech", (channel, value) =>
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} has been published to {1}!", value, channel));
}); sub.Publish("news-nba", "Lakers");
sub.Publish("news-nba", "Kobe"); sub.Publish("news-tech", "lumia"); System.Threading.Thread.Sleep();
Console.WriteLine("unscribe the news-nba");
sub2.Unsubscribe("news-nba");//unsub sub.Publish("news-tech", "surface pro3"); System.Threading.Thread.Sleep();
sub.Publish("news-nba", "james"); System.Threading.Thread.Sleep();
Console.WriteLine("unscribe all channels");
sub2.UnsubscribeAll(); sub.Publish("news-nba", "paul");
sub.Publish("news-tech", "surface pro4");
Debuging the code ,you will see the result as follow.
The next post of this series is the basic opreation of transaction in Redis.Thanks for your reading.
