A Grunt plugin to delete keys from your redis database, automatically. Useful when using redis as a cache engine.

This plugin requires Grunt ~1.0.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-clear-redis --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-clear-redis');

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named clear_redis to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({

	clear_redis: {
		development: {
			keys: [
				'cakephp_cake_core_*',
				'cakephp_cake_model_*',
				'cakephp_cache_*',
			],
		}
		production: {
			keys: [
				'cakephp_cake_core_*',
				'cakephp_cake_model_*',
				'cakephp_cache_*',
			],
			database: 1,
			options: {
				port: 6379,
				host: '127.0.0.1',
			},
		}
	},

});

• keys: An array object with the key patterns you want to delete.
• database: (optional) Select the database in which you want to perform the task. Default: 0
• options: (optional) Arguments for the actual redis.createClient(). Default: {port: 6370, host: '127.0.0.1'}

And that's all.

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.

v0.2.0 Added support for multiple databases. v0.1.0 First useful but limited prototype.
