Add Item to Redis To-Do List

Introduction

In this challenge, you'll learn how to add an item to a Redis-backed to-do list application using the LPUSH command. The goal is to add 'Grocery Shopping' to the todo_list list in Redis.

You'll start by connecting to the Redis server using redis-cli. Then, you'll execute the LPUSH command to add the task to the list. The challenge includes verification steps to confirm the task was successfully added.

Add Item to Redis To-Do List

Quickly add a new task to your Redis-backed to-do list application.

Tasks

Use the LPUSH command to add 'Grocery Shopping' to the todo_list list in Redis.

Requirements

Connect to the Redis server using the redis-cli command.
Use the LPUSH command to add the value 'Grocery Shopping' to the list named todo_list.
After executing the LPUSH command, exit the redis-cli using the exit command.

Examples

After successfully adding the item to the list, you can check the list using the LRANGE command.

127.0.0.1:6379> LRANGE todo_list 0 -1
1) "Grocery Shopping"
127.0.0.1:6379> exit

This indicates that one item has been added to the list.

Hints

Use the redis-cli command to interact with the Redis server.
The LPUSH command adds an element to the beginning of a list.
Remember to enclose the value in quotes if it contains spaces.
Remember to exit the redis-cli after adding the item.
