# Redis
|
|
|
|
Redis is a Redis client library that can communicate with a Redis database.
|
|
|
|
### What is Redis?
|
|
|
|
Redis is an in-memory data store used as a database, cache and message broker. It supports most common data structures. Redis is most commonly used for caching data such as sessions and notifications (between multiple servers).
|
|
|
|
Redis works as a key-value store, but allows querying the keys, unlike most databases.
|
|
|
|
## With and without Vapor
|
|
|
|
To include it in your package, add the following to your `Package.swift` file.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
// swift-tools-version:4.0
|
|
import PackageDescription
|
|
|
|
let package = Package(
|
|
name: "Project",
|
|
dependencies: [
|
|
...
|
|
.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/redis.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "3.0.0")),
|
|
],
|
|
targets: [
|
|
.target(name: "Project", dependencies: ["Redis", ... ])
|
|
]
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If this is your first time adding a dependency, you should read our introduction to [Package.swift](../getting-started/spm.md).
|
|
|
|
Use `import Redis` to access Redis' APIs.
