Added #

• New Commands (Hashes): Added client.hset(), client.hget(), and client.hgetall().
• Upgraded RESP Parser: The internal parser now supports Integers (:).
• hset returns an int (1 for new field, 0 for update).
• hgetall conveniently returns a Map<String, String>.

Fixed #

• Critical Auth Bug: Fixed a bug where connect() would time out (hang) if authentication failed (e.g., providing a password to a no-auth server).
• Test Stability (FLUSHDB): Fixed flaky command tests (like HSET returning 0 instead of 1) by adding FLUSHDB to setUpAll, ensuring a clean database for each test run.
• Test Logic: Fixed the authentication failure test to expect the actual server error message (e.g., ERR AUTH) instead of a custom one.

Changed #

• Test Suite: Refactored the entire test setup (valkey_client_test.dart) to use a checkServerStatus() helper. This reliably checks server availability before defining tests, preventing false skips and cleaning up the test logic.

Added #

• Upgraded RESP Parser: Implemented a full recursive parser.
  • The parser now supports Arrays (*), completing the core RESP implementation.
• New Command: Added client.mget() (Multiple GET) which relies on the new array parser.
• Internal: Refactored the parser logic into a _BufferReader for cleaner, more robust parsing.

Added #

• New Commands: Added client.set() and client.get() methods.
• Upgraded RESP Parser: The internal parser now supports Bulk Strings ($).
• This enables handling standard string values (e.g., GET mykey) and null replies (e.g., GET non_existent_key).

Added #

• Command Execution Pipeline: Implemented the core execute method to send commands and process responses via a queue.
• PING Command: Added the first user-facing command: client.ping().
• Basic RESP Parser: Added an internal parser to handle simple string (+) and error (-) responses, preparing for full RESP3 support.

This is the first functional release, implementing the core connection logic.

Added #

• Core Connection: Implemented the initial client connection logic.
  • connect(): Connects to the Valkey server.
  • close(): Closes the connection.
  • onConnected: A Future that completes when the connection is established.
• Documentation:
  • Added public API documentation (lib/valkey_client.dart).
  • Added a comprehensive usage example (example/valkey_client_example.dart).
• Testing:
  • Added unit tests for connection, connection failure, and disconnection scenarios.

• Initial version. (Placeholder)
