Passing A Vector of RedisModuleString to RedisModule_Call

While building Redis Too (a recommendation engine module for Redis), I spent a good bit of time (and strands of hair) figuring out how to pass a variable number of arguments to a Redis command like “SUNION”.

The format specified of the RedisModule_Call function accepts ‘v’ to denote “a vector of RedisModuleString”. But to use it, you need to pass two arguments to RedisModule_Call: the array of RedisModuleString and the size of the array.

Assuming you have the array args defined as RedisModuleString **args, and the size of the array n as size_t n, you can call RedisModule_Call as follows:

1

RedisModule_Call(ctx, "SUNION", "v", args, n);

You can also mix it with other arguments in the call:

1

RedisModule_Call(ctx, "SUNIONSTORE", "sv", key, args, n); // `key` is a RedisModuleString.
