php-laravelHow do I use Redis with Laravel in PHP?

Using Redis with Laravel in PHP is quite simple.

1. First, you need to install the predis/predis package via Composer:

composer require predis/predis

2. Then, you need to configure the Redis connection in your config/database.php file:

'redis' => [
    'client' => 'predis',
    'default' => [
        'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
        'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
        'database' => 0,
    ],
],

3. Finally, you can use Redis in your code like this:

$redis = Redis::connection();
$redis->set('key', 'value');
echo $redis->get('key');

Output example
