boost::redis::basic_connection::async_run

Starts the underlying connection operations.

Synopsis

Declared in <boost/redis/connection.hpp>

template<class CompletionToken = asio::default_completion_token_t<executor_type>>
auto
async_run(
    config const& cfg,
    CompletionToken&& token = {});

Description

This function establishes a connection to the Redis server and keeps it healthy by performing the following operations:

  • For TCP connections, resolves the server hostname passed in boost::redis::config::addr.

  • Establishes a physical connection to the server. For TCP connections, connects to one of the endpoints obtained during name resolution. For UNIX domain socket connections, it connects to boost::redis::config::unix_sockets.

  • If boost::redis::config::use_ssl is `true`, performs the TLS handshake.

  • Executes the setup request, as defined by the passed config object. By default, this is a `HELLO` command, but it can contain any other arbitrary commands. See the config::setup docs for more info.

  • Starts a health‐check operation where `PING` commands are sent at intervals specified by config::health_check_interval when the connection is idle. See the documentation of config::health_check_interval for more info.

  • Starts read and write operations. Requests issued using async_exec before `async_run` is called will be written to the server immediately.

When a connection is lost for any reason, a new one is established automatically. To disable reconnection set boost::redis::config::reconnect_wait_interval to zero.

The completion token must have the following signature

void f(system::error_code);

Per‐operation cancellation

This operation supports the following cancellation types:

  • `asio::cancellation_type_t::terminal`.

  • `asio::cancellation_type_t::partial`.

In both cases, cancellation is equivalent to calling basic_connection::cancel passing operation::run as argument.

After the operation completes, the token's associated cancellation slot may still have a cancellation handler associated to this connection. You should make sure to not invoke it after the connection has been destroyed. This is consistent with what other Asio I/O objects do.

For example on how to call this function refer to cpp20_intro.cpp or any other example.
