get existing redis client to access rediscala api

Is there a way to get the underlying rediscala client to be able to use the complete set of its API in addition to the convenient API of the caches?

First of all, if there is anything you miss in the play redis, feel free to propose a new feature.

Second, I don’t see your problem since the client you created in this.client transitively implements redis.commands.Sets. Therefore, just call this.client.scard("my-key") and you are done. Note, that this is asynchronous method returning a scala.concurent.Future, which must be converted into its Java version (CompletionStage)

@KarelCemus : Thanks for the fast and great reply!

I need access to the SortedSet commands in redis to implement a sorted, unique list. And because we are using your plugin for the list and map handling with ease I don’t want to replace it with something like jedis.

Unfortunately it is very hard for me to read scala code and I don’t fully get how to access the RedisClient.

I could create and map the scala-attributes of the client in Java:

String host = config.getString("play.cache.redis.host");
Option<String> pw = Option.apply(config.getString("play.cache.redis.password"));
Option<Object> db = Option.apply(config.getInt("play.cache.redis.database"));
int port = config.getInt("play.cache.redis.port");
        
Option<FiniteDuration> timeout = Option.empty();
var dispatcher = new RedisDispatcher("my.rediscala.rediscala-client-worker-dispatcher");
        
this.client = new RedisClient(host, port, pw, db, "My-Connection", timeout, system, dispatcher);

But I could not achieve how to send the commands (which are defined in redis.commands.Set?) to the connection. Maybe you have another hint for me?
