This is a starting point for TypeScript solutions to the "Build Your Own Redis" Challenge.

In this challenge, you'll build a toy Redis clone that's capable of handling basic commands like PING, SET and GET. Along the way we'll learn about event loops, the Redis protocol and more.

Note: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to codecrafters.io to try the challenge.

Passing the first stage

The entry point for your Redis implementation is in app/main.ts. Study and uncomment the relevant code, and push your changes to pass the first stage:

git commit -am "pass 1st stage" # any msg
git push origin master

That's all!

Stage 2 & beyond

Note: This section is for stages 2 and beyond.

1. Ensure you have bun (1.1) installed locally
2. Run ./your_program.sh to run your Redis server, which is implemented in app/main.ts.
3. Commit your changes and run git push origin master to submit your solution to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.

How to Test:

Start the server by running your main.ts with Bun. Connect to the server using a tool like telnet or nc (netcat):

From your terminal, run:

telnet 127.0.0.1 6379

Or use netcat:

nc 127.0.0.1 6379

Send the PING command: Type PING and press enter. The server should respond with PONG. Test other commands:

Try sending something else, like HELLO, and the server should respond with 'Unknown command\r\n'.
