Helper for resp.ToBytes()?

[0x079]

There are response helpers for pretty much everything except []byte.
We have to do

str, err := resp.ToString()
bin := []byte(str)

or

data, err := resp.ToAny()
bin := data.([]byte)

but that's not very convenient and can add up to a lot across the codebase. It would be nice to have resp.ToBytes() unless I'm missing something?

Depending on your use case, resp.AsReader() might suit you better, because it returns an io.Reader which can be consumed by many decoders, such as json.Decoder and hex.Decoder.

Besides that, I do have the plan of adding resp.AsBytes() helper in go 1.20.

That's awesome! Thank you!

Are you planning on allowing bytes in your Key() command builder instead of requiring rueidis.BinaryString(bytes) in 1.20?

[rueian]

Probably no. I believe that only accepting string as the input of Key() is the most user-friendly signature.

Hi @0x079, resp.AsBytes() has been introduced in the latest v0.0.96.
