Redis - Lists



Redis Lists are simply lists of strings, sorted by insertion order. You can add elements in Redis lists in the head or the tail of the list.

Maximum length of a list is 232 - 1 elements (4294967295, more than 4 billion of elements per list).

Example

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> LPUSH tutorials redis 
(integer) 1 
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> LPUSH tutorials mongodb 
(integer) 2 
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> LPUSH tutorials mysql 
(integer) 3 
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> LRANGE tutorials 0 10  
1) "mysql" 
2) "mongodb" 
3) "redis"

In the above example, three values are inserted in Redis list named ‘tutorials’ by the command LPUSH.
