# hitbox-redis

Hitbox is an asynchronous caching framework supporting multiple backends and suitable for distributed and for single-machine applications.

hitbox-redis is Cache [Backend] implementation for Redis.

This crate uses [redis-rs] as base library for asynchronous interaction with redis nodes.
It uses one [MultiplexedConnection] for better connection utilisation.

## Example backend usage with hitbox_actix

```rust
use actix::prelude::*;
use hitbox_actix::prelude::*;

#[actix_rt::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), CacheError> {
    let backend = RedisBackend::new()
    	.await?
	.start();

    let cache = Cache::builder()
        .finish(backend)
        .start();
    Ok(())
}
```
