Dude is a dead simple Redis cache.

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     dude:
       github: GrottoPress/dude

2. Run shards update

3. Require and configure Dude:

   # ->>> src/app/config.cr
   
   # ...
   
   require "dude"
   
   Dude.configure do |settings|
     settings.redis_url = "redis://localhost:6379/0?initial_pool_size=5&max_idle_pool_size=10"
     settings.redis_key_prefix = "dude"
   end
   
   # ...

• Fetch raw value from cache

  # Sets and returns block if key not found in cache
  Dude.get("key", 1.minute) { "value" } # => `value`

• Fetch JSON-serializable value from cache

  struct User
    include JSON::Serializable
  
    getter id : Int32
  
    def initialize(@id)
    end
  end
  
  # Sets and returns block if key not found in cache
  Dude.get(User, "key", 1.minute) { User.new(2) } # => `User(@id=2)`

Create a .env.sh file:

#!/bin/bash

export REDIS_URL='redis://localhost:6379/0'

Update the file with your own details. Then run tests with source .env.sh && crystal spec.
