A fast Valkey Storage that does auto pipelining and supports client side caching. Implementation is based on [valkey-io/valkey](https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey-go).

```go
func New(config ...Config) Storage
func (s *Storage) Get(key string) ([]byte, error)
func (s *Storage) Set(key string, val []byte, exp time.Duration) error
func (s *Storage) Delete(key string) error
func (s *Storage) Reset() error
func (s *Storage) Close() error
func (s *Storage) Conn() valkey.Client
```

### Installation

The valkey driver is tested on the latest two [Go version](https://golang.org/dl/) with support for modules. So make sure to initialize one first if you didn't do that yet:

```bash
go mod init github.com/<user>/<repo>
```

And then install the valkey implementation:

```bash
go get github.com/gofiber/storage/valkey
```

### Examples

Import the storage package.

```go
import "github.com/gofiber/storage/valkey"
```

You can use the one of the following options to create a Valkey Storage:

```go
// Initialize default config (localhost:6379)
store := valkey.New()

// Initialize custom config 
store := valkey.New(valkey.Config{
    InitAddress:    []string{"localhost:6380"},
    Username:       "",
    Password:       "",
    Database:       0,
    Reset:          false,
    TLSConfig:      nil,
})

// Initialize using Redis-style URL
store := valkey.New(valkey.Config{
    URL:    "redis://localhost:6379",
})

// Initialize Valkey Cluster Client
store := valkey.New(valkey.Config{
    InitAddress:    []string{":6379", ":6380"},
})

// Create a client with support for TLS
cer, err := tls.LoadX509KeyPair("./client.crt", "./client.key")
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
	return
}
tlsCfg := &tls.Config{
	MinVersion:            tls.VersionTLS12,
	InsecureSkipVerify:    true,
	Certificates:          []tls.Certificate{cer},
}
store = valkey.New(valkey.Config{
    InitAddress:    []string{"localhost:6380"},
    Username:       "<user>",
    Password:       "<password>",
    SelectDB:       0,
    TLSConfig:      tlsCfg,
})

```

### Config

```go
type Config struct {
	// Server username
	//
	// Optional. Default is ""
	Username string

	// Server password
	//
	// Optional. Default is ""
	Password string

	// ClientName will execute the `CLIENT SETNAME ClientName` command for each conn.
	//
	// Optional. Default is ""
	ClientName string

	// URL standard format Redis-style URL. If this is set all other config options, InitAddress, Username, Password, ClientName, and SelectDB have no effect.
	//
	// Example: redis://<user>:<pass>@localhost:6379/<db>
	// Optional. Default is ""
	URL string

	// SelectDB to be selected after connecting to the server.
	//
	// Optional. Default is 0
	SelectDB int

	// Either a single address or a seed list of host:port addresses, this enables FailoverClient and ClusterClient
	//
	// Optional. Default is []string{"127.0.0.1:6379"}
	InitAddress []string

	// TLS Config to use. When set TLS will be negotiated.
	//
	// Optional. Default is nil
	TLSConfig *tls.Config

	// CacheSizeEachConn is valkey client side cache size that bind to each TCP connection to a single valkey instance.
	//
	// Optional. The default is DefaultCacheBytes: 128 * (1 << 20)
	CacheSizeEachConn int

	// RingScaleEachConn sets the size of the ring buffer in each connection to (2 ^ RingScaleEachConn).
	//
	// Optional. The default is RingScaleEachConn, which results into having a ring of size 2^10 for each connection.
	RingScaleEachConn int

	// ReadBufferEachConn is the size of the bufio.NewReaderSize for each connection, default to DefaultReadBuffer (0.5 MiB).
	//
	// Optional. The default is DefaultReadBuffer: 1 << 19
	ReadBufferEachConn int

	// WriteBufferEachConn is the size of the bufio.NewWriterSize for each connection, default to DefaultWriteBuffer (0.5 MiB).
	//
	// Optional. The default is DefaultWriteBuffer: 1 << 19
	WriteBufferEachConn int

	// BlockingPoolSize is the size of the connection pool shared by blocking commands (ex BLPOP, XREAD with BLOCK).
	//
	// Optional. The default is DefaultPoolSize: 1000
	BlockingPoolSize int

	// PipelineMultiplex determines how many tcp connections used to pipeline commands to one valkey instance.
	//
	// Optional. The default for single and sentinel clients is 2, which means 4 connections (2^2).
	PipelineMultiplex int

	// DisableRetry disables retrying read-only commands under network errors
	//
	// Optional. The default is False
	DisableRetry bool

	// DisableCache falls back Client.DoCache/Client.DoMultiCache to Client.Do/Client.DoMulti
	//
	// Optional. The default is false
	DisableCache bool

	// AlwaysPipelining makes valkey.Client always pipeline valkey commands even if they are not issued concurrently.
	//
	// Optional. The default is true
	AlwaysPipelining bool

	// Reset clears any existing keys in existing Collection
	//
	// Optional. Default is false
	Reset bool

	// CacheTTL TTL
	//
	// Optional. Default is time.Minute
	CacheTTL time.Duration
}
```
