Run and First Requests

Run locally

cargo run -p redis-web --bin redis-web -- redis-web.min.json

If no config path is passed, redis-web loads redis-web.json by default, then redis-web.min.json, then webdis.json for compatibility.

Write a starter config

redis-web --write-minimal-config

This writes redis-web.min.json with only the fields needed for a first run. Use redis-web --write-default-config when you want the full documented config surface.

First HTTP requests

curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/SET/hello/world
curl http://127.0.0.1:7379/GET/hello

Each path segment becomes a Redis argument. If you see 400, double-check your command spelling and URL encoding.

JSON WebSocket

const ws = new WebSocket('ws://127.0.0.1:7379/.json');
ws.onopen = () => ws.send(JSON.stringify(['SET', 'hello', 'world']));
ws.onmessage = (msg) => console.log(msg.data);

The JSON socket replies with JSON-encoded Redis responses and supports multiple commands on a single connection.

Raw RESP WebSocket

const ws = new WebSocket('ws://127.0.0.1:7379/.raw');
ws.onopen = () => ws.send('*1\r\n$4\r\nPING\r\n');

Use the raw socket when you need RESP fidelity or binary-safe payloads.
