How to use Redis Hashes

New Course Coming Soon:

Get Really Good at Git

So far with Lists and Sets we saw how to correlate a key with a value, or a group of values.

Hashes let us associate more than one value to a single key, and they are perfect to store object-like items.

For example, a person has a name and an age.

We can create a person:1 hash:

HMSET person:1 name "Flavio" age 37

To get all the properties of a user, use HGETALL:

HGETALL person:1

You can update a hash property using HSET:

HSET person:1 age 38

You can increment a value stored in a hash using HINCRBY:

HINCRBY person:1 age 2

See all the hash commands here.

Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!

Here is how can I help you:
