| 13 | +# Azure Cache for Redis input binding for Azure Functions (preview) |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +When a function runs, the Azure Cache for Redis input binding retrieves data from a cache and passes it to your function as an input parameter. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +For information on setup and configuration details, see the [overview](functions-bindings-cache.md). |

| 39 | +>For .NET functions, using the _isolated worker_ model is recommended over the _in-process_ model. For a comparison of the _in-process_ and _isolated worker_ models, see differences between the _isolated worker_ model and the _in-process_ model for .NET on Azure Functions. |

| 41 | +The following code uses the key from the pub/sub trigger to obtain and log the value from an input binding using a `GET` command: |

| 153 | + |
| 154 | +This JavaScript code (from index.js) retrives and logs the cached value related to the key provided by the pub/sub trigger. |

| 177 | +<!---Note: it might be confusing that the binding `name` and the parameter name are the same in these examples. ---> |
| 178 | +```json |

| 210 | +The following example uses a pub/sub trigger with an input binding to the GET message on an Azure Cache for Redis instance. The example depends on whether you use the [v1 or v2 Python programming model](functions-reference-python.md). |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +### [v1](#tab/python-v1) |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +This function.json defines both a pub/sub trigger and an input binding to the GET message on an Azure Cache for Redis instance: |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +```json |
| 217 | +{ |
| 218 | + "bindings": [ |
| 219 | + { |
| 220 | + "type": "redisPubSubTrigger", |
| 221 | + "connection": "redisConnectionString", |
| 222 | + "channel": "__keyevent@0__:set", |
| 223 | + "name": "key", |
| 224 | + "direction": "in" |
| 225 | + }, |
| 226 | + { |
| 227 | + "type": "redis", |
| 228 | + "connection": "redisConnectionString", |
| 229 | + "command": "GET {Message}", |
| 230 | + "name": "value", |
| 231 | + "direction": "in" |
| 232 | + } |
| 233 | + ] |
| 234 | +} |
| 235 | +``` |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +This Python code (from \_\_init\_\_.py) retrives and logs the cached value related to the key provided by the pub/sub trigger: |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +```python |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +import logging |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | +def main(key: str, value: str): |
| 244 | + logging.info("Key '" + key + "' was set to value '" + value + "'") |

| 276 | + |
| 277 | +| Property | Description | |
| 278 | +|----------|---------------------------------------------------| |
| 279 | +| `name` | The name of the specific input binding. | |
| 280 | +| `connection` | The name of the [application setting](functions-how-to-use-azure-function-app-settings.md#settings) that contains the cache connection string, such as: `<cacheName>.redis.cache.windows.net:6380,password...` | |
| 281 | +| `command` | The redis-cli command to be executed on the cache with all arguments separated by spaces, such as: `GET key` or `HGET key field`. | |

| 283 | +::: zone pivot="programming-language-javascript,programming-language-powershell,programming-language-python" |
| 284 | +## Configuration |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +The following table explains the binding configuration properties that you set in the function.json file. |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +| function.json property | Description | |
| 289 | +|------------------------|-------------------------| |
| 290 | +| `connection` | The name of the [application setting](functions-how-to-use-azure-function-app-settings.md#settings) that contains the cache connection string, such as: `<cacheName>.redis.cache.windows.net:6380,password...` | |
| 291 | +| `command` | The redis-cli command to be executed on the cache with all arguments separated by spaces, such as: `GET key`, `HGET key field`. | |
| 292 | + |
| 293 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 294 | +> Python v2 and Node.js v4 for Functions don't use function.json to define the function. Both of these new language versions aren't currently supported by Azure Redis Cache bindings. |

| 299 | + |
| 300 | +## Usage |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | +The input binding expects to receive a string from the cache. |
| 303 | +::: zone pivot="programming-language-csharp" |
| 304 | +When you use a custom type as the binding parameter, the extension tries to deserialize a JSON-formatted string into the custom type of this parameter. |
