1
+ Nest
2
+ ====
3
+
4
+ Generate nested namespaced keys for key-value databases.
5
+
6
+ Description
7
+ -----------
8
+
9
+ If you are familiar with databases like
10
+ [Redis](http://code.google.com/p/redis) and libraries like [Ohm](http://ohm.keyvalue.org) or
11
+ [redis-namespace](http://github.com/defunkt/redis-namespace), you
12
+ already know how important it is to craft the keys that will hold the
13
+ data.
14
+
15
+ >> @redis.set "event:3:name", "Redis Meetup"
16
+ >> @redis.get "event:3:name"
17
+ => "Redis Meetup"
18
+
19
+ It is a design pattern in key-value databases to use the key to simulate
20
+ structure, and you can read more about this in the [Twitter case
21
+ study](http://code.google.com/p/redis/wiki/TwitterAlikeExample).
22
+
23
+ Nest helps you generate those keys by providing chainable namespaces:
24
+
25
+ >> event = Nest.new("event")
26
+ >> @redis.set event[3][:name], "Redis Meetup"
27
+ >> @redis.get event[3][:name]
28
+ => "Redis Meetup"
29
+
30
+ Usage
31
+ -----
32
+
33
+ To create a new namespace:
34
+
35
+ >> ns = Nest.new("foo")
36
+ => "foo"
37
+
38
+ >> ns["bar"]
39
+ => "foo:bar"
40
+
41
+ >> ns["bar"]["baz"]["qux"]
42
+ => "foo:bar:baz:qux"
43
+
44
+ And you can use any object as a key, not only strings:
45
+
46
+ >> ns[:foo][42]
47
+ => "foo:42"
48
+
49
+ In a more realistic tone, lets assume you are working with Redis and
50
+ dealing with events:
51
+
52
+ >> event = Nest.new("event")
53
+ => "event"
54
+
55
+ >> redis = Redis.new
56
+ => #<Redis::Client...>
57
+
58
+ >> id = redis.incr(event)
59
+ => 1
60
+
61
+ >> redis.set event[id][:name], "Redis Meetup"
62
+ => "OK"
63
+
64
+ >> redis.get event[id][:name]
65
+ => "Redis Meetup"
66
+
67
+ >> meetup = event[id]
68
+ => "event:1"
69
+
70
+ >> redis.get meetup[:name]
71
+ => "Redis Meetup"
72
+
73
+ Differences with redis-namespace
74
+ -------------------------------
75
+
76
+ [redis-namespace](http://github.com/defunkt/redis-namespace) wraps Redis
77
+ and translates the keys back and forth transparently.
78
+
79
+ Use redis-namespace when you want all your application keys to live in a
80
+ different scope.
81
+
82
+ Use Nest when you want to use the keys to represent structure.
83
+
84
+ Differences with Ohm
85
+ -------------------
86
+
87
+ [Ohm](http://ohm.keyvalue.org) lets you map Ruby objects to Redis with
88
+ little effort. It not only alleviates you from the pain of generating
89
+ keys for each object, but also helps you when dealing with references
90
+ between objects.
91
+
92
+ Use Ohm when you want to use Redis as your database.
93
+
94
+ Use Nest when mapping objects with Ohm is not possible.
95
+
96
+ Installation
97
+ ------------

+
99
+ $ sudo gem install nest
