Issue
I'm using Memcached as backend to my django app. This code works fine in normal django query:
def get_myobj():
cache_key = 'mykey'
result = cache.get(cache_key, None)
if not result:
result = Product.objects.all().filter(draft=False)
cache.set(cache_key, result)
return result
But it doesn't work when used with django-rest-framework api calls:
class ProductListAPIView(generics.ListAPIView):
def get_queryset(self):
product_list = Product.objects.all()
return product_list
serializer_class = ProductSerializer
I'm about to try DRF-extensions which provide caching functionality:
https://github.com/chibisov/drf-extensions
but the build status on github is currently saying "build failing".
My app is very read-heavy on api calls. Is there a way to cache these calls?
Thank you.
Solution
Ok, so, in order to use caching for your queryset:
class ProductListAPIView(generics.ListAPIView):
def get_queryset(self):
return get_myobj()
serializer_class = ProductSerializer
You'd probably want to set a timeout on the cache set though (like 60 seconds):
cache.set(cache_key, result, 60)
If you want to cache the whole view:
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page
class ProductListAPIView(generics.ListAPIView):
serializer_class = ProductSerializer
@method_decorator(cache_page(60))
def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
return super(ProductListAPIView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)
