Redis documentation

Clients

All clients are listed under language specific sub-folders of clients

The path follows the pattern: clients/{language}/github.com/{owner}/{repository}.json. The {language} component of the path is the path-safe representation of the full language name which is mapped in languages.json.

Each client's JSON object represents the details displayed on the clients documentation page.

For example clients/python/github.com/redis:

{
    "name": "redis-py",
    "description": "Mature and supported. Currently the way to go for Python.",
    "recommended": true
}

Commands

Redis commands are described in the commands.json file that is auto generated from the Redis repo based on the JSON files in the commands folder. See: https://github.com/redis/redis/tree/unstable/src/commands See: https://github.com/redis/redis/tree/unstable/utils/generate-commands-json.py

For each command there's a Markdown file with a complete, human-readable description. We process this Markdown to provide a better experience, so some things to take into account:

  • Inside text, all commands should be written in all caps, in between backticks. For example: INCR.

  • You can use some magic keywords to name common elements in Redis. For example: @multi-bulk-reply. These keywords will get expanded and auto-linked to relevant parts of the documentation.

There should be at least two predefined sections: description and return value. The return value section is marked using the @return keyword:

Returns all keys matching the given pattern.

@return

@multi-bulk-reply: all the keys that matched the pattern.

Styling guidelines

Please use the following formatting rules (aiming for smaller diffs that are easier to review):

  • No need for manual lines wrapping at any specific length, doing so usually means that adding a word creates a cascade effect and changes other lines.
  • Please avoid writing lines that are too long, this makes the diff harder to review when only one word is changed.
  • Start every sentence on a new line.

Checking your work

After making changes to the documentation, you can use the spellchecker-cli package to validate your spelling as well as some minor grammatical errors. You can install the spellchecker locally by running:

npm install --global spellchecker-cli

You can than validate your spelling by running the following

spellchecker --no-suggestions -f '**/*.md' -l en-US -q -d wordlist

Any exceptions you need for spelling can be added to the wordlist file.
