Someone please explain to me how TF to use #Redis in #Laravel (6, specifically, for now) without just praying that I put the right method name on a facade? How can I inject it instead like a grown up?
Seriously, I can find nothing for how to use basics like incr()/decr() other than "it will simply pass the arguments."
@Crell I assume you want to use caching with redis configured as cache driver? Then you can inject the \Illuminate\Contracts\Cache\Repository interface and just do $cache->increment('foo', 2) etc.
@Crell I never had to interact directly with redis myself from laravel but indeed it seems harder than it should be. I guess you can inject \Illuminate\Contracts\Redis\Connection and then there is a "command" instance method to send raw redis commands to the server but I can't test it right now.
@joepferguson I cannot even find what the $redis variable would be. The docs are useless for anything but the facade. In 5.1 there was a Database class for it, but it's gone in 6 and there is no "incr"/"decr" method anywhere at all that I can find.
@joepferguson OK, but what if I DON'T want the facade? I want something injected, as the 5.1 code already was. I haven't figured out what class to even type against.
@Crell I'm browsing through vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Redis (granted a recent framework version) but I don't see much here. I always forget where Laravel starts and Predis/phpRedis begin.
