👉 Examples

🔍 Listing Keys and Values (Cataloger)

List keys or JSON values stored in Valkey.

# Output stored values (JSONL)
asimov-valkey-cataloger --output jsonl

# Output only keys / URLs
asimov-valkey-cataloger --output url

📡 Subscribing to Channels (Reader)

Subscribe to one or more Valkey channels and print incoming messages.

# Output messages as JSON lines
asimov-valkey-reader --output jsonl asimov:events

# Extract only "@id" URLs from JSON messages
asimov-valkey-reader --output url asimov:events

✏️ Publishing Messages (Writer)

Publish messages from stdin to Valkey Pub/Sub channels.

# Publish JSON objects
echo '{"@id":"https://example.com/r/1","k":"v"}' \
  | asimov-valkey-writer asimov:events

# Publish and also echo to stdout
echo '{"msg":"test"}' \
  | asimov-valkey-writer --union asimov:events

⚙ Configuration
