HSETNX

HSETNX key field value

Available since 2.0.0.

Time complexity: O(1)

Sets field in the hash stored at key to value, only if field does not yet exist. If key does not exist, a new key holding a hash is created. If field already exists, this operation has no effect.

Return value

Integer reply, specifically:

1 if field is a new field in the hash and value was set.
0 if field already exists in the hash and no operation was performed.

Examples

redis> HSETNX myhash field "Hello" (integer) 1 redis> HSETNX myhash field "World" (integer) 0 redis> HGET myhash field "Hello"
