iredis 0.8.4

Terminal client for Redis with auto-completion and syntax highlighting.

IRedis (Interactive Redis)

A Terminal Client for Redis with AutoCompletion and Syntax Highlighting. It is an alternative for redis-cli. IRedis is supposed to friendly for both user and redis-server, which means it is safe to use IRedis on production server. IRedis provide a --strict mode to prevent accidently running dangerous command, like KEYS *(See here, the Latency generated by slow commands section.

This project is under development, any comments are welcome.

Features

• Command validation,(eg. try CLUSTER MEET IP PORT, iredis will validate IP and PORT for you)
• Command highlighting, fully based on redis grammar. Any valide command in iredis shell is a valide redis command.
• Ctrl + C to clear cureent line, won't exit redis-cli. Use Ctrl + D
• Say "Goodbye!" to you when you exit!
• Ctrl + R to open reverse-i-search to search through command history.
• Auto suggestions. (Like fish shell.)
• Support --encode=utf-8, to decode Redis' bytes responses.
