How can I set the expire time in Redis' ruby client when using mapped_mset?

Question

I am trying to use

redis.mapped_mset({ "f1" => "v1", "f2" => "v2" })

to set multiple keys into Redis and I can not set expire time at the same time. The only way to set expire time to to use this:

set(key, value, options = {})

or

expire(key, seconds)

I have to call many times and this is not what I want to see. Are there any other ways to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Redis itself does not support multiple setting with an expiration parameter. Redis#mapped_set is a syntactic sugar to call mset and mset itself is a syntactic sugar to transactionally call subsequent set many times.

So, the only thing you need is to wrap subsequent calls to set(... ex:...) into a transaction with Redis#multi.
