+Yii2 Redis Counter
+==================
+Redis Counter implements fast atomic counters using Redis storage.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).
+
+Either run
+
+```
+php composer.phar require --prefer-dist drsdre/yii2-redis-counter "*"
+```
+
+or add
+
+```
+"drsdre/yii2-redis-counter": "*"
+```
+
+to the require section of your `composer.json` file.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+You need to setup the client as application component:
+
+```php
+'components' => [
+    'redisCounter' => [
+        'class' => 'drsdre\redis\Counter',
+    ],
+    ...
+]
+```
+
+Optional the parameter 'redis' can be added to specify a specific Redis connection.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Once the extension is installed, use it in your code like :
+
+```php
+    // Create a hourly counter
+    $counter_key = 'hourly_statistics';
+    
+    // Check if counter is setup
+    if (Yii::$app->redisCounter->exists($counter_key)) {
+        // Atomic increment counter with 1
+        Yii::$app->redisCounter->incr($counter_key);
+    } else {
+        // Create counter set value to 1 and let it exist for 1 hour
+        Yii::$app->redisCounter->set($counter_key, 1, 60*60);
+    }
+```
