a unified interface to key/value stores
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:34 commits, 5 PRs, 66 comments in 2 years 1 month
Contributions summary:Mauro's primary contribution involved adding support for the `each_key` method across various adapters within the `moneta-rb/moneta` repository. This involved implementing the method in multiple adapter classes like `LRUHash`, `ActiveRecord`, `File`, `PStore`, and `Redis`, as well as creating mixins to enable this functionality. The user also fixed issues and updated the `each_key` implementation to accommodate for Arel changes and ensure the proper behavior of the feature, modifying both adapter code and related test specifications. The primary focus was expanding the features within the core key/value store functionality.
